Hi, I currently have a hypo het albino het anery. i was wondering if i picked up another triple het what my possible offspring would look like. i have an idea according to some sites but i just wanted some other opinions.

thanks

technically it's not a triple het even though the snake is referred by that name. The reason is, hypo's are a co-dominant trait. And the other two traits are simple recessive. The snake is Homozygous for one trait and double het for two recessive traits. Offspring will be as follows. 1/16 "snow glow"(hypo/anry/albino) , 9/16 hypo , 3/16 sunglow(hypo/albino), 3/16 ghost(hypo/Anerythristic). Your 9/16 hypos(appear as normal hypos) will consist of plain hypos het for nothing, hypo's het for one trait, and hypo's het for both traits(Anerythristic and albino). Out of the 9/16 group you would need breed them in order to prove them out. Remember this is just statistically speaking and you might not even have 16 babies.. so chance plays a big part

the snake is called a tripple het because it is a tripple het.
hypo is a dominent trait but that has nothing to do with the animal being heterozygous or homozygous. heterozygous means an animal has one gene for the trait in question, and homozygous means the animal has two genes for teh trait in question. a homozygous is commonly refered to as a super. an animal with one gene for a dominent trait (or any other type of trait) is still refered to as heterozygous for that trait.

just trying to clear things up.

Can anyone tell me out of the offspring that are only visible for hypo, what chance are they for being het for one trait. and what chance are they for being het. for both traits? I was thinking 66% for one trait and maybe half of that 33% het for both?

thanks

For those babies that are visible Hypos that are not visible albino or Anery:

Each is 66% het Albino AND 66% Anery

To get the odds on triple hets, multiply the 66% albino against the 66% anery (ignoring the hypo since it is visible.

44% Hypo / Het Anery / het Albino. (Also, would be 33% Homozygous Hypo)
