I heard there was some type of calculator on the internet that can show you what you can get out of certain match ups, like you type in the morphs that you are going to breed and it shows the percentages of what morphs you will get from them. I've been trying to find it, but without any luck. If anyone knows where to find it, could you link it? Thanks.

i use geneticswizard.com
not the greatest but its the only i know of so far

do you mean...

There are two or three such calculators for corn snakes, but but the mutant genes are hard coded in. Which means that they cannot be used for other species. As far as I know, the Genetics Wizard is about the only general purpose calculator available. And it has limitations.

IMHO, doing such calculators with paper and pencil is not particularly difficult and does away with needing a computer. YMMV.

hard at all to do it on paper or even in your head.

Take each morph seperately and figure out the odds for each phenotype. Then simply multiply together to get the overall odds for a specific combination of phenotypes. Very usefull if you only want to know the odds for a couple outcomes in a complicated pairing. For example, a DH snow to a triple het moonglow, what are the odds of getting snow or moonglow babies

Albino - Het x het (recessive) = 1/4 albino, 3/4 66% het albino
Anery - Het x het (recessive) = 1/4 anery, 3/4 66% het anery
Hypo - Het x normal (dominant) = 1/2 hypo, 1/2 normal

Moonglow = Hypo x albino x anery = 1/2 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/32
Snow = normal x albino x anery = 1/2 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/32

And for any other visual combo the process works the same. simply multiply the individual components together...

A visual sunglow from this pairing would be Hypo x albino x 66% het anery = 1/2 x 1/4 x 3/4 = 3/32

A normal looking baby would be Normal(hypo) x 66% het albino x 66% het anery = 1/2 x 3/4 x 3/4 = 9/32

Using just a bit of logic, you can extrapolate your results into

Moonglow = 1/32
Snow = 1/32
Sunglow (66% het anery) = 3/32
Ghost (66% het albino) = 3/32
Albino (66% het anery) = 3/32
Anery (66% het albino) = 3/32
hypo (66% het albino and 66% het anery) = 9/32
normal (66% het albino and 66% het anery) = 9/32

Wow, total is 32/32
