blizzard x bloodred

fantasyxbabygurl Sep 30, 2007 06:03 PM

I understand that a blizzard is produce by crossing an anery b (charcoal) with amery or snow corn and then breed these offspring together. Im no sure what produces a bloodred but i was wondering what the two would produce.

Im assuming it would be a few differant morphs?

Im not sure about with genes are dominant over which other ones or i could probably figure this out myself with a little math.

Anyways thanks for any help that comes this way.

A blizzard is a corn that is both amelanistic and charcoal. I would not use an anerythristic or a snow corn because of the difficulty distinguishing anerythristic and charcoal when the second generation hatches.

Bloodred was a line of selectively bred, very dark red corns from north Florida. They were poor feeders and have been extensively outbred to improve hatchling size and feeding response. The only mutant that has been identified is a gene that diffuses the pattern.

Crossing a blizzard to a bloodred would produce snakes that are more or less normal looking. They would be heterozygous for amelanistic, anerythristic, and bloodred. The babies' pattern might or might not be somewhat diffuse compared to most corns.

That is my understanding, anyway.

If you bred the triple hets (F1) together, you would have the possibility of producing a "Whiteout," which is a snake visibly charcoal, amel, AND diffused, all at the same time (1/64 chance, I believe). You would also have the possibility of producing Pewters, Blizzards, Bloodreds, Amels, and Charcoals, and of course, normals.
