genetics help

rjamesboas Aug 15, 2012 11:01 PM

I am close to trying to breed for the first time ever! and i have a few questions and i hope i can get some positive feedback on this...so thanks in advance everyone. I have a female anery het snow (2008) and 2 males, a 2010 albino motley het snow and a 2011 sunglow het albino. Both kahl strains. I need to know what i should expect if either male is paired with the female. any help will be greatly appreciated!! thanks

Well, if bred to the sunglow het, you've got a shot at a moonglow, snow, albino, hypo, anery, and sunglows etc. If bred to the motley, you've got a shot at a snow motley, I say go for that!

Personally I suggest you do a lot more reading of Mendelian genetic basics and go to many other forums that are more receptive to beginner questions.
I'll leave a link or two below to a Forum that is more receptive to beginner type questions.

If you do not understand basic genetics as of right now . . . . . . Personally I believe you have no business breeding any Boas together anytime in the near future !

Without understanding basic Boa mutations and how they work it's right nor is it fair that you breed these animals together and have basically little to no understanding of what your outcomes will be.

You need to fully understand these things so that you can explain it in full detail to potential customers.

It's not fair come on any forum and ask people to give the answers to these types of questions.

If you can demonstrate that you have a basic understanding of what will be produced from any given basic coupling then people will be more open to helping you gain further understanding.

Here is part of your statement:
>>>> I have a female Anery het snow (2008) and 2 males, a 2010 albino motley het snow
>>>>and a 2011 sunglow het albino. Both kahl strains

I don't know if this is a Typo in your previous question or if you truly don't understand that a Sunglow is an Albino ? . . . .

A Double Het Sunglow is a Hypo Heterozygous for Albino.
An actual Sunglow is a Hypo that also displays Albino in the Homozygous state.

Possibly you missed typed and meant to say you have a Sunglow Het Anery . . .
if not you are a very long ways from understanding The Basic Genetics involved in Boa Breeding . . . .

I suggest you stop by this Forum that I post a Link to . . there is many many wonderful detailed threads that explain all kinds of basic Genetic information.

There are many of these threads that are actual stickies at the top of each sub Forum for you to read through and gain more insight into Genetics then I could type here in the next four hours ! Lar M

People dont ask ?'s in hopes of getting stupid smart-ass comments from a prick with a smart ass mouth like yours. All you had to do was post a comment saying check out this site or whatever but noooo u want to try and insult someone and their intelligence. well sorry you little girl but you got the wrong guy if you think that [bleep]!! i dont give two [bleep]s what you or anyone thinks!! CAll me if you have something to say....id be glad to put you in your place [bleep]!!!
