Questions about siblings.

clownloach Jan 27, 2005 02:45 PM

Hi, Can someone tell me a little about siblings. I noticed they are cheaper in price, but would they produce the same babies that look like them or the salmon or hypos who had them? I know I am having a hard time wording this. Thanks for the info.

If you are refering to hypo siblings then.. Hypo siblings that are not hypo themselves are just normal boas and cannot pass on the hypo trait.

The siblings to a Hypo or other Co-Dom trait is just a confusing way of saying "this is a normal Boa with no special genes, his brother was great looking and I am trying to confuse you into thinking it may be something more then just a normal boa"
I hate the term because I feel it to be purposely misleading to those who are new to the Boa game. If it had any chance of having a genetic trait then they would be listed as Hets or possible hets.
Good luck and always ask if not really sure, it may save you some disapointment later.
Thanks
