when you breed an albino boa to a dh sunglow.
what are the percentages of what you get as babies?

I am pretty sure that you will get Sunglows,Albino's,Hypo's that are 66% het albino or double het for sunglow,An normals that are 66% het albino!I am not 100% percent about the percentage rate of how many sunglows an albinos will be in the litter,maybe someone with more experience can tell you how many babies of each you will have but that is definatley what you will get!Hope this helps!Eric[Hypoboa]

I think its more like

25% Sunglows
25% DH Sunglows
50% Het for albinos.

The salmon or hypo trait is co-dom.

Yes Youare right the hypo/salmon is a codom[half a litter of hypos] so where did the normals that dont carrie the hypo trait go in your percentage rate an it is 66% het for albino!an their will be normals in the litter that are 66% het albino!Thanks Eric[Hypoboa]

Well since the DH sunglow is being bred to an albino, all normal and hypo babies would be 100% het for albino or 100% DH sunglow if they are hypos. If you bred two DH sunglows together, then you would get the 66% hets.

Thats still a het to albino breeding so I was under the asuumption that they were 66% hets!I thought the only breeings you got 100% hets was albino to albino and albino to normal!An het to het an albino to het were 66% an 100% het to normal were 50% hets!I am still learning I could be wrong thats why I asked a more experienced person to correct me if I was wrong!Question though now that we are on the subject!Breeding a double het for sunglow saying it is a 100% double het,to a albino,Their will still be sunglows an albinos plus hets an double hets,Correct?Thanks Eric[Hypoboa]

In your last post you said "I thought the only breeings you got 100% hets was albino to albino and albino to normal!"

I thought that Albino to Albino= 100% homozygus Albinos maybe Im wrong Im still trying to figure this whole color morph thang out myself.

If you bred a normal or het to albino all normal looking babies would be 100% hets. If you bred two het for albinos together, then all normals would be considered 66% het for albinos. If you bred two albinos together you would get all albino babies and no normals (hets). Hope this helps.

25% Sunglows
25% Albinos
25% Hypos(het for Sunglow)
25% normals (het for Albino)

>> For Hypoboa1 : An Albino bred to anything will get you 100%hets. If bred to a het albino, you'd get 50% albinos, and 50%hets. Het to Het breedings get you the 66% possibles. and breeding a het to a normal (non-het) get the 50% possible hets. Hope his helps.

--aka DMOG68

i thought it was

male albino --to co/dom salmon female

20 snakes litter --example

5 sunglow
5 albino
5 100% het-albino/hypo---dh sunglow
5 100% het-albino reg

let me know it this sounds right.

and if it was a
albino to dh female dominate

20 snake litter --example

10 sunglow
10 dh sunglow---hypo/100%het-albino

is that right ?

When you breed a codominate hypo to anything statistically you should get 50% of the litter as hypo and 50% as wild type (normal) and when you breed an Albino to anything that is het for Albino statistically you should get 50% Albino's and 50% het for Albino this is just a rule of thumb some times you will get more than 50% some times you could get less now when you cross the two genes you should still get the same split for each gene but where they cross over is hard to predict and they are your Sunglows Theoretically you could get 50% Albino's and 50% hypo's het Albino or 50% Sunglows and 50% het for Albino's but more than likely you will get a mix for example you have a litter and you get 24 baby's and 5 are Sunglows 9 are Albino's and 4 are hypo het Albino and 6 are het Albino's your percentages will be

14 Albino's for 59% of the litter (Sunglows are Albino's)

9 Hypo's for 38% of the litter (Sunglows are Hypo's)

when you count them as a cross litter your percentages are as follows

5 Sunglows for 21% of the litter
9 Albino's for 37% of the litter
4 Hypo's for 17% of the litter
6 Het Albino's for 25% of the litter

This just shows you that when breeders are talking about percentages they are just guide line to follow when you are planning to breed different animals very rarely do they stand true for example we breed a Striped male het for Albino to a double het Striped Albino female and with het to het breeding you should only get 25% Albino's well we had 18 baby's and 9 of them were Albino's so just use them as guide lines and just be happy that you got anything at all I hope this helps Scott Mid Atlantic Morphs
