Need a bit more info, by triple het, how many are dominant vs recessive?

Assuming you mean TH for snowglow...

3/64 snowglow 33% posible super
9/64 sunglow 33% super, 67% het anery
9/64 ghost 33% super, 67% het albino
27/64 hypo 33% super, 67% het anery, 67% het albino

1/64 snow
3/64 Anery 67% het albino
3/64 albino 67% het anery
9/64 normal 67% het anery, 67% het albino

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

lots.lots.lots feeder mice and rats

thanks for the info. dave! I want to try to make some moonglows, but I'm having a rough time figuring out the best way to have the most moonglows in my litter.

np, obviously the highest percentage would come from a homozygous moonglow bred to either a snow, moonglow or a second homozygous moonglow.

To help your decisions, treat each trait seperately....

Albino - het x het, het x albino or albino x albino
Anery - het x het, het x anery or anery x anery
Hypo - het hypo x normal, homozygous hypo x normal, het hypo x het hypo, homozygous hypo x het hypo or homozygous hypo x homozygous hypo

Short of breeding two moonglows together, look for two animals where the combinations will produce known young. For example - het albino x albino, het anery x anery and hypo x normal. And those can be mixed between the two parents in any combination....

TH moonglow x snow
sunglow het anery x anery het snow
ghost het albino x albino het snow

Any of those combinations would yield 1/8 each

Moonglow
Sunglow het anery
Ghost het anery
TH moonglow
Snow
Albino het anery
Anery het albino
DH snow

All visually discernable and all genetics known, no possible het's
