Morph question

skateboarder001 Jul 15, 2006 01:40 PM

I am kinda new to the whole morph thing and was wondering if someone could help me out. I want to produce some ghost boas and I was wondering what two boas I will need to acomplish this. Also what would I get If a bred a salmon to a hypo what would be the outcome. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

A salmon and a hypo are the same and if bred together you would all hypos or salmons and about half of those would be super salmons or dominant hypos.

To get ghost you would have to breed an anery to a hypo to produce hypos het for anery. Then you would have to breed two hypo het for anerys together to get some ghosts or breed a hypo het anery to an anery and you could also produce ghost that way.

If you are wanting to produce ghost and hypos, an unrelated pair of hypos het for anery could produce ghost, dominant ghost, anerys, hypos and dominant hypos for you all in one breeding. Hope this helps and good luck.

Salmon and Hypo are the same thing. It is a dominant morph where only one gene needs to be present for it to show but there could be two genes as well, same visual look.

Outcomes:

het x het
75% salmon/hypo (1/3 homozygous/super)
25% normal

het x Homozygous
100% Salmon/hypo (1/2 homozygous/super)

Homozygous x homozygous
100% homozygous Salmon/hypo

A ghost is a anery with at least one hypo gene. Many combinations will work but minimum is for each parent to be het for anery and one to be a hypo as well:

Hypo het Anery x het Anery
Hypo het Anery x Anery
Hypo het Anery x Hypo het Anery
Hypo het Anery x Hypo Anery (ghost)
Hypo het Anery x homozygous Hypo Anery (super ghost)
Hypo het Anery x homozygous Hypo het Anery

Hypo Anery x het Anery
Hypo Anery x Anery
Hypo Anery x Hypo Anery
Hypo Anery x homozygous Hypo Anery
Hypo Anery x homozygous Hypo het Anery

homozygous Hypo het Anery x het Anery
homozygous Hypo het Anery x Anery
homozygous Hypo het Anery x homozygous Hypo Anery (super ghost)
homozygous Hypo het Anery x homozygous Hypo het Anery

homozygous Hypo Anery x het Anery
homozygous Hypo Anery x Anery
homozygous Hypo Anery x homozygous Hypo Anery

Your more productive choices would be to get individuals with the most genes you can afford. For example, the Hypo het Anery x het Anery will produce only 12.5% Ghosts while the homozygous Hypo Anery x Anery would produce 100% Ghosts and the homozygous Hypo Anery x homozygous Hypo Anery wojuld produce 100% super Ghosts

LOL, to many snakes to list, last count:
10.22 BRB
10.15 BCI
And those are only the breeders

lots.lots.lots feeder mice and rats

Ok thanks for the replies guys. That is kinda confusing with all the different possibilites. If I bred my hypo pastel female to a anery what would be the outcome. Also what would be some good morphs to breed to my hypo pastel? Sorry for all the questions Im trying to get this whole morph thing down.

You'd get Hypo het ANery and het Anery with pastel scattered around in the mix as well.

Anything you breed to it would not produce anything visual unless you bred another dominant morph like Jungle or co-dominant like Motley.

My recommendation is to look at the morphs shown in these threads and the classifieds, decide what you like/want tpo produce. Then figure out what you want/can afford to get there.
