from what i have seen. they could look like anything. dragons are constantly changing from shed to shed and when you start mixing all those colors no two offspring are going to look the same. atleast not identical. so its really hard to say what the offspring will look like.

I have to agree with nhballpython. You can actually take a snow, breed it to a blood and end up with either of the two or something entirely different. You'd need the bloodline information on both breeders. I always find it hard to explain genetics, but here goes:
Let's say a black man marries a white woman. They produce a child. That child may be born white, black, or mixed. Also, one of the parents may have a chinese, mexican, indian, etc. somewhere in their bloodline. Let's say the child was white. It can grow up & marry another white, yet produce a baby that is black(like Grandpa). Get it?
FYI, I'd like to say that I am in not prejudiced in any way. This is the only way that I can try to explain bloodlines.
I hope this helps,

yeah exactly. like my girlfriend has blonde hair but her parents dont. but both her parents parents have it. so its in there make up and with the roll of the dice she got it also. Genes are funny that way. to quote forest gump. breeding is like a box of chocolates. you never know what your gonna get. ya just better hope its caramel and not coconut.
