Hey Paul you out there?
This is probably a piece of cake for you but like my earlier post stated, I'm a ball person.
What are the possibilities on this one? I'm so kimfused with boa genetics!
Thanks everyone.

The DH ghost has a salmon gene paired with a normal gene, an anerythristic gene paired with a normal gene, and two normal genes instead of any albino genes.
The DH sunglow has a salmon gene paired with a normal gene, two normal genes instead of any anerythristic genes, and an albino gene paired with a normal gene.
The albino gene is recessive to the normal gene. The anerythristic gene is recessive to the normal gene. The salmon gene is dominant to the normal gene.
DH ghost X DH sunglow -->
1/4 super salmon (which may or may not look different from a salmon)
2/4 salmon
1/4 normal looking
(These fractions are expectations. Actual results may differ from the expected fractions.)
Each baby snake has a 50% probability of being heterozygous for albino, a 50% probability of being heterozygous for anerythristic, and a 25% probability of being heterozygous for both albino and anerythristic. But which baby has which genotype???
This is not a mating that I would recommend if one of the aims is maximizing profits.
