Anyone have a good link to a website that makes sense of all the Double het, triple het, ect, ect. pertaining to color morphs of today's snakes??

I have some basic genetic understanding, for example, breeding a het albino to a het albino will throw 25% albinos, 50% normal looking hets, and 25% normals. But the double, triple hets, the multiple het for different traits, and some simple stuff in general just throws me for a loop.

Oh ya, also ... I saw below the dh for snow post in that pricing the anerys 66% het for snow at one price and anery het for albino another price ........how the hell is someone supposed to be able to figure out what normal looking animals are het for what? They all look the same .. I gotta be missing something! LOL ....

Any help greatly appreciated!

Well, there is genetics wizard, but I have no idea what the URL is for that site. As far as the above quote, you mentioned animals that are one in the same. An anery that is het for snow is an anery that is het albino. However, an anery(visual anery) that is het for albino(Anery het snow/albino) is generally less than an albino(visible albino) het for anery(Albino het snow/anery). So, those two would in fact be different looking, and obviously an albino will cost more than an anery. Hope that made sense. Good luck, Pete Kahls website also has a small genetics section and he lists some books you can buy on the subject. I've read a couple of the books he has listed and they were pretty informative and easily read. Take care!

This might work
Try this

Much appreciated - I want to do some reading so Ill probably buy the books, I always have been the type to want to know the info myself rather than rely on another person, computer program, ect, ect.

Thanks again!

I'd also suggest a genetics textbook. Schaum's Outline of Genetics, either 3rd or 4th edition, is the best I know in its price range and is better than most I've seen in higher price ranges. I like it because it is problem oriented. I'd like it better if it was more strongly oriented to the use of wild type as the standard of reference.
