How about a Snow male to prove out the female. That way even if she isn't a het worst result is a litter of DH and TH!

If she doesnt prove out on her first litter/clutch that doesnt mean shes not het,right??Because she is only 2 yr.and 2 months old,I would probably have to breed her at least twice to see.Wouldnt you agree??Man that would be awesome if she prooves to be a double,"MOONGLOWS BABY"(LoL) if Im lucky.Hey Chris, Have you ever heard of the white phase Hypo?I forget who produces them.They have been on kingsnake but I havent seen them recently.

Are you talking about the White Group, that would be Jesse Van Atta aka Sojourn. He has bred the phase into his Hypos.

Snow X Poss TH would likely prove her out the first time. Since you look at each gene separately. Think of it as Albino X Het and Anery X Het. Both would produce 50% visuals. Now a small litter, and bad luck could get you nothing. But odds are you'll know after the first litter. But, even if you don't know for sure, you will still have 100% het offspring instead of poss hets, which make them more appealing.

You could have a triple het X snow and miss on some of the designers, but really thats the best combo for producing Snows and Moonglows while avoiding Homozygous X Homozygous breedings. It would be the same as an Albino het Anery X Ghost het Albino or Sunglow het Anery X Anery het Albino. Strong genes in all cases!

So as long as you get one Anery (Could have Hypo or Albino mixed in as well) and one Albino (could have Anery and Hypo mixed in as well) in a litter, then you know you have a TH.
