My cbb hondo (8/02) had 9 eggs on 5/28. (shed 5/17) Mated with a 66% het hypo male. She weighed in at 875 grams on 4/30. The nine eggs weighed 300 grams total. Female post eggs was 516 grams. Now for the long wait. If and when they hatch, they will be 100% het for albino with a 50% chance het for hypo, according to the book of Dunham.)

Enjoy the pix

Mike,
Nice clutch and a great shot. They look good and now the wait to the next step of hatching.
Well done,

Mike, if i told you that, i mis-spoke. There are TWO possibilities:
1) your possible het hypo male IS het hypo
IN THAT CASE, 50% of the babies would be het hypo
2) your possible het hypo male is NOT het hypo
IN THAT CASE 0% of the babies would be het hypo

Since there are two chances in three (67% chance) that the FIRST proposition is true, then:
there's 2/3 chance HALF the babies will be het and 1/3 chance NONE will be.

I THINK the math works out to 2/3 x 50% = 33% so that there is actually a 33% chance each baby IS het....UNTIL any other test breedings establihs whether the male is or is not het, in which case you'd revert to either #1 or #2 above for the correct percentage.

The male is definite het. Proven two years ago with a female het that I sold. Genetics are very confusing. I'm just happy to get healthy babies and then let the KS forum read me the riot act.
