Amelanistic x Snow

reptilesmendoza Apr 03, 2006 08:45 PM

Hi, I want to know the results if I cross an Amelanistic with an Snow corn, the offsprings will be 50%amelanistic 50%snow?

Another question. Is it possible that an Amelanistic is heterozygous for ANERYTHRISTIC or this phenotype would be a snow?
THANKS

So the only way for getting snow offsprings is:
snow x snow
or
heterozygous anerythristic F1/heterozygous amelanistic F1 X heterozygous anerythristic F1/heterozygous amelanistic F1
(normal color phenotype)?

amel to snow will give you all amels het anery as stated above.
But, there is always a chance that your amel could bet het anery.
If it is, then you will get amels and snows.
if the amel is not het anery then you can breed the F1's back to the snow and get amels and snows and you can breed the F1's to the F1's and have about a 25% chance to get snows along with amels.
