What would you get if you breed a 100% het albino to a 66% het albino... sorry i'm really bad with genetics and i'm new to the breeding scene

If the 66% er turns out to het albino you'll get 25% albinos and the rest will be all 66%ers. If it doesn't turn out to be a het you'll have all het babies.

If the 66% doesn't prove out...he will have 50% hets....
I'm sure you know that already Just an oversite....I do it all the time...there's just a lot to remember

Take care, Chris Olson

If the 66% turned out to be a normal, you'd get 50% normals and 50% hets when bred to a 100% het. Of course, you'd have no idea whoz who at the zoo. But thanks for creating something to post about.

For some reason I was thinking he had an albino to a 66%er. Whooopppssss!

The 100% het means it is a definite het and that one of the animals parents was an albino, or a het and it has been proven out by breeding to another het or an albino. The 66% means it came from a het x het breeding...resulting in 25% of the litter being albino. The remaining normal looking animals have a 66% CHANCE of being het for albino.

So, if you breed them and your 66% proves out to be a het...you will get roughly 25% albinos, and the remaining animals will appear normal but will have a 66% chance of being het for albino. You will not be able to tell which of them are hets...thus the 66% chance.

If you breed them and your 66% turns out not to be a het, but your other animal is a 100% het, the result of the litter will be split....50% normal, 50% het for albino. Again, it is anyones guess which ones will be hets, thus 50% chance het for albino.

I hope this helps, Chris Olson

It would depend if the 66% turned out to be an albino het. That's what that means, there is a 66% chance it is albino. A 100% het albino would imply it is definately a het, one of the parents was an albino. With the 66%, it had both parents as albino hets. This produces a group in which 25% are albino, 50% are hets and 25% are 100% normal. How they get at the 66% thing is that the animals that are albino(from breeding 2 hets) are obviously carriers. That leaves the other 2 options 50% hets and 25% normal.. a 2 to 1 ratio, or a 66% chance that the remaining offpring are hets. This would be the same senario if you bred a 100% het to a 66% het(and by luck the 66% was a carrier).
Hope this makes some sense-

Not sure of the site though. It's given in the back of The Cornsnake Manual by B&C Love.
