having just bought my first hypo brooks. i was wondering if any1 could tell me what to expect from breeding her to a normal brooks? also could any1 suggest a morph that would produce nice morphs when bred to the hypo gene?

Congratulations on your hypo! If you breed it to a complete normal you'll get all normals 100% het for hypo. If you breed hypos to Axanthic you'll get ghosts in the second generation of course. First all the babies will be double hets for hypo and Axanthic (or you could use Anery), then when you breed two of the double hets together you'll get some hypos, some Axanthic, and some ghosts. Oh and some normal looking which can be het for either hypo or Axanthic but there won't be anyway to know untill you breed them and see the results. You can then add albino (either T-neg, or Lavender) and get some snows. Really any other morph you choose to add the hypo to will eventually result in some cool offspring down the line.

Those two in the pic are a hypo and a ghost. I don't have any Axanthics or Anery right now except the genes in both of those contain Axanthic. I'm sure if others here aren't too busy they'll post some for you. Good luck with your projects. I am excited for the next couple years also, cause I just got back into breeding after a long sabatical and though I have plenty of corns hatching this year and a few other odds and ends, I won't produce any kings till next year. Well I do have some Thayeri x Ruthvens, so they qualify as kings. I need to get some updated pics of my snake.
