I bred a snow male het hypo to a albino female het snow & white side.

Half were albino and half were snow.

What are my het please help.

Thanks Colby

I believe all of the albinos would be possible het whiteside and hypo and the snows would be possible het hypo. Hope that helps. Take care!

since he bred a "snow" (whitesided amel) het hypo to a albino het whiteside the babies that are snows (albino whitesideds) are 50% het hypo since only one parent was het for hypo. the babies that were albinos are 100% het whiteside and 50% het hypo.
its confusing when the term albino het snow and whiteside is used cause its the same thing.

Thanks for the correction. I honestly did mean to say it in that regard. I just need to learn to proof read better! Anyway, Shannon is correct! Take care!

Snow means so many different thing depending upon what species.

Back in trig class - they taught us to reduce everything to sin and cosine because it would make it easier to see what is going on.

I think the same is true with snake morphs - when figuring out hets etc. from pairings, it is easier to just indicate the proper names for the single morph genes involved rather than the name assigned to a polymorph.

That I'm guessing will help avoid a lot of confusion.

Yes, thats why you will never see me say its het for ghost or het for snow cause it can't be.It can be dbl-het for snow or dbl-het ghost cause it takes to genes to make them.
It is confusing and were we (not you and I but the hobby in general)messed up was naming the bulls snows and ghosts with the whitesided gene cause they really aren't.
Now we have the real ghosts and snows coming out and we have to call them "real snows and real ghosts" LOL.....

Its not near as bad as the whole leapord gecko and ball python thing though.
