>>My cbb hondo (8/02) had 9 eggs on 5/28. (shed 5/17) Mated with a 66% het hypo male. She weighed in at 875 grams on 4/30. The nine eggs weighed 300 grams total. Female post eggs was 516 grams. Now for the long wait. If and when they hatch, they will be 100% het for albino with a 50% chance het for hypo, according to the book of Dunham.)
Mike, if i told you that, i mis-spoke. There are TWO possibilities:
1) your possible het hypo male IS het hypo
IN THAT CASE, 50% of the babies would be het hypo
2) your possible het hypo male is NOT het hypo
IN THAT CASE 0% of the babies would be het hypo
Since there are two chances in three (67% chance) that the FIRST proposition is true, then:
there's 2/3 chance HALF the babies will be het and 1/3 chance NONE will be.
I THINK the math works out to 2/3 x 50% = 33% so that there is actually a 33% chance each baby IS het....UNTIL any other test breedings establihs whether the male is or is not het, in which case you'd revert to either #1 or #2 above for the correct percentage.
