Can somebody please explain this to me? I know what a het is I think. That's when EX: If you have a normal het snow and a normal het snow and you breed them you will get snows right? I just heard this double and triple het term today. Can somebody please explain to me?

Thank you for any help!

I'm new to breeding, but I'll see if I can explain it.
If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.
I'll use a honduran milk snake as an example.

If you had a honduran that was anery and a honda that was amel, and you bred them together you'd have a clutch of double hets, snakes het for 2 distinct traits.

If you bred siblings from that clutch together, you'd have a small chance (1/16 maybe?) of getting a snow hondo.

Now, if you bred that snow with a hypo, and there was no hypo hets in the snow's family before, you'd now have a batch of triple hets, snakes het for anery, amel, and hypo.

Ok thank you very much! Now I understand!
