I know when you breed an Anaconda to a Normal...there is some chance to produce more Anacondas.

What about the offspring that don't show the anaconda trait?

Are they "het" for anaconda?

Or do these non-visible offspring have a better chance to produce anacondas when paired with a visible anaconda?

Thanks in advance.

No post.

I am 99.99% sure the answer is no unless its a albino ext then it will be het for albino. I am not a pro but iam pretty sure i am correct.

Rusty,

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking.

If you breed a conda to a normal you get on average 50% normals and 50% condas. There are low expression condas that look almost normal but have the belly pattern of the condas.

Assuming you have a clutch from an Anaconda to a Normal.

6 neonate

3 Anacondas

3 Low Expressions that look basically normal

If you breed these Low Expressions (from the example above) to a Anaconda in the future...will they have a greater chance to produce Anacondas in the future?

In other words...will an Anaconda X Low Expression give a better chance (say 75% instead of 50%) to produce Anacondas in the clutch or is there still the same result as to a true "normal" (around 50%).

Hope that helps...

Thanks!

Out of a conda X normal breeding you will get on average 50% of each. Out of the 50% condas you could get some low expression (gene carrying) condas.

You could get some "Normals" that have some funky patterns but they are not true condas.

I get what your asking know (I think). I do not think by breeding normals from a conda clutch to a conda you have a better chance of getting "more" condas.

And don't forget, Anaconda is a co-dominant trait that can be very variable and can range from nearly patternless to looking almost like a normal hog (low expression). However they look, an Anaconda is an Anaconda. With co-dominant mutations, they either have it or they don't.

When you breed an Anaconda X Anaconda, in each egg you will have a 25% chance for a Superconda (the patternless hog), 50% chance for Anacondas and 25% chance for Normals.

Again, in an Anaconda X Normal breeding, each egg will have a 50% chance of being an Anaconda and 50% chance to be normal.

ROC,

I was just talking in general terms. What they're asking is if there is a better chance of getting more condas by using a normal from a conda clutch. At least that's what I thinking is being asked.

Greg,
I added that extra part to answer RG's question:

"In other words...will an Anaconda X Low Expression give a better chance (say 75% instead of 50%) to produce Anacondas in the clutch or is there still the same result as to a true "normal" (around 50%)."

Hopefully we covered all the bases. After I posted after your thread I was hoping it wouldn't seem like I was telling you about hog genetics, haha!

Awesome. These forums can get confusing sometimes. LOL

Yes...this is exactly what I was asking!

Thanks to you both for taking the time to help me understand.

The anaconda is a co dom not a recessive trait so there will be no hets ,when bred to a normal you will get 50% anacondas or better.

The belly pattern is NOT alway solid black, and should not be used as the deciding factor in determining if it's a true anaconda or not.

I'm finding that more anacondas have color markings on their belly then not,but mostly I'm finding that all the marking are in the center of the belly.

Hope this is helpful
