What would the odds be on a cross......

Dragomlover Jun 27, 2010 12:55 AM

I have a pair I plan to breed very soon(just waiting on the female to hit the right gram weight).

The male is a Hypo Leatherback(Italian) 100% het Trans.

The female is a Trans Leatherback(Italian) 100% het Hypo

I can figure out the % as far as the genes individually but can't seem to figure out the math on hitting all in one dragon!

What I have so far is that 25% of the babies will be normal(not leather) 50% leatherbacks and 25% silkies. I know that since dad is a hypo and mom is a het there will be 25% normals, 25% hets and 50% hypos(the normal and hets you can't tell a part since its ress. so all are poss hets) And the same goes for Trans...50% Trans and the others are poss hets. So what would be the odds on hitting a HypoTrans Silkie?? Like one in ....?
Thanks
