questions about bull pairings

thomas_matthew Jan 16, 2008 10:41 AM

Ok guys i am new to bulls in a way, and was curious as to what these pairings would/could produce in the way of offspring and the percentages or outcome of these pairings in the future.

1.0 albino (sunglow type male) quad het: albino,snow,hypo and pos ghost
0.1 hypo super nice female also quad het for: albino,snow,hypo and pos ghost
0.1 ghost quad het for: albino, snow, hypo
0.1 IVORY female (hypo whitesided)

any info would be greatly appreciated.

thanx in advance.

A hypo-white side is considered a ghost bull. I believe an ivory is something different and much less common.

An albino-white side is considered a snow bull. I think the true snows are referred to as lavender snows.

All are recessive traits. Someone correct me if I'm mistaken.

well, some of your terms are way off.here is your list.

1.0 albino (sunglow type male) quad het: albino,snow,hypo and pos ghost
0.1 hypo super nice female also quad het for: albino,snow,hypo and pos ghost
0.1 ghost quad het for: albino, snow, hypo

o.k. the first one you say (sunglow type?) what is that.Are you sayings its also a hypo already? thats what a sunglow is.So you say quad het albino,(its already albino so can't be het)you say,snow (already albino again)and then you say hypo and possible het ghost.If there is no whiteside then no possible way of being het for ghost. That snake is a albino that is het whitesided (if it is het snow)and would be dbl-het for ghost.not quad het for sure.

the second one you have listed is already hypo and is het for albino and whitesided.Thats it.Its a hypo thats double het.

the thrid is a ghost (already hypo and whiteside) that is het for albino and thats it.it can't be het hypo as it already is showing hypo and saying its het snow is just saying its het for amel since its already showing the whitesided.

Hope this helps.none are quad hets.Quad indicates being het for 4 genes but ghost and snow are only combos of two and both them have one in common.

so let me ask you this, and shannon thanks so much for the info man.
i had no clue, and i was totally misrepresenting the animals as i have them up for sale, and didn't want to sell someone something that i was completely off-key about.

so i know for a fact that one of my females is an IVORY as i got her from Jason Nelson himself as a such. What is an Ivory Exactly. it said in his description a hypo whitesided??? am i correct in this assumption?

thanx guys for the info i had no idea i was so wrong.
