This morning I awoke to find 1 snow, 6 albinos het snow, 8 anery hets, 9 normal appearing hets, and 8 slugs. The father is an anery 100% het striped albino, 50% possible het snow. The mother is obviously now a proven DH Snow. Since the father is an anery I'm aware every animal here is het anery. My question is since both parents are het albino and the father is 50% possible het snow, going backwards now that I know what's actually been produced, what are the anerys and normal appearing animals produced definite het for? Since both parents were het albino are these two latter groups 100% het albino? If not, what are they het for? BTW, a good amount of these are striped big time so that proved out as well. Great day in NH!

Sounds like your morning is off to a good start. What you have are.One snow = albino, anery & 50%het for strip.
Six Albinos = Albino,100% het anery, & 50%het for strip.
Eight Anerys = Anery, 66% het Albino, and 50%het for strip
Nine Normal looking = 100% het anery, 66% het albino, and 50%het for strip. Striping is a recessive gene, so either you produced aberrant boas "temp induced etc." or your female may have carried the gene for strip as well.

Congratulations on your litter.

Good luck,

James answered your question nicely.

I just wanted to tell you Congrats... Can we expect to see pics?

Thank you James for your expert information regarding the genetics. I'm aware that temperature variations can cause abberencies but this was not the case here since her temperature was electronically monitored and controlled to ensure viable offspring. I guess the mother must be het for stripe also since roughly 25% of the offspring are striped. I haven't actually counted the amount of animals having this feature so this figure is just a guesstimate at this point. I'll know for sure when I duplicate these results next time around. Thanks again for your valuable input.

HELLO
YOUR MALE WAS ANERY 100% HET FRO STIPE ALBINO? THEN HEY WAS ALSO 100% HET SNOW NOT 50% JUST THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT

That's torture! Maybe after they shed? CONGRATS.
