i am fairly new to the designer genetics aspect of the snake. i wil be asking alot of question but as not to wear out my welcome i will spread them out over time. first i would like to know, if i mate a hypo DH snow to a DH snow, will i still get moonglows(in theory) or do i need to have both hypo DH snow?

hypo DH snow to a DH snow is the minimal requirement to possibly produce a moonglow. Any additional genes will increase your odds. Some examples...
TH x DH = 2/64moonglow
TH x TH = 3/64 moonglow
Anery het Snow x TH = 4/64
Snow x TH = 8/64

A tiny clarification in case you were in the dark as far as what a "TH" is:
TH = Triple Het = Hypo Het Snow
Thanks Dave!

thank you. i currently have a DH snow and a hypo DH snow, both being females and both being early 08. i was just wondering for when it comes time to get a male next year........after reading previous post i guess i better start looking for 2 males....

Yeah, as it stands your DH and TH will NOT produce any Moonglows (or anything else for that matter) Mating two females simply does not work except in super rare, mostly undocumented cases.
For a male, obviously money is a factor but if you want the best possible outcomes a snow male would do nicely. In each of the two possible pairings, all hets will be known since everything born would have the be het Albino and het Anery at a minimum or....
Snow x DH Snow
1/4 Snow
1/4 Albino het Anery
1/4 Anery het Albino
1/4 DH Snow
Snow x TH Moonglow
1/8 Moonglow
1/8 Snow
1/8 Sunglow het Anery
1/8 Albino het Anery
1/8 Ghost het Albino
1/8 Anery het Albino
1/8 TH Moonglow
1/8 DH Snow
And yeah, two males would work better unless you plan on alternating the females.
