From my own experience i have found the levels of color, and amounts of spots to somewhat unpredictable. You should get all SHTCT and baldies. You may end up with some better and some worse than the parents.I bred a saddleback and a dorsal stripe together and ended up with one dorsal, one saddleback, one dorsal saddleback, and a shtct. It also depends on how you incubate, the lineage, how well you care for the parents. Also SHTCTB's are line bred so each generation should show improvement. There isn't any such thing as het for SHTCT.
I have a question for you. Are all three related? I personaly like to spread out my genes so i can work within my pool without having to get a new stud every few years so you don't inbreed. I have 30 from 8 different breeders. Thats just the way i do it.
