lubricus Jan 30, 2006 07:08 PM

I'm trying to learn all this stuff on my own but it gets confusing, if I bread my tiger het albino retic to a tiger het albino retic, what will I end up with???? and if I bread my tiger albino het, to an albino, what would I end up with then?....Im getting 1.1 tiger het albino lavender, and 0.2 albino one purple, and one white.

Before I start, all I did was plug in the information into a genetics calculator (those things are great). It spits out what you will get.
tiger het albino X tiger het albino:
6.25% Normal
12.25% het albino
6.25% albino
12.5% tiger
25% tiger het albino
12.5% albino tiger
6.25% super tiger
12.5% supertiger het albino
6.25% albino supertiger

tiger het albino X albino
25% het albino
25% albino
25% tiger het albino
25% albino tiger

Both of these could have been calculated by using a Punnet square, but it is time consuming and there is that little thing called human error in there. Also with this genetics calculator it is giving the genotype rather than phenotype, so of course you won't know the difference between a tiger het albino and tiger when they hatch. Think that takes care of everything, if not I'm sure someone else will reply.

Tiger het x Tiger het=

25% norm, 50% tiger, and 25% super tiger. 25% of the previous morphs will be albino, the rest will appear normal, 66% possible hets for albino.

Tiger het x albino=
50% normal, 50% tiger. 50% of all the snakes will be albino, the other half will be het for albino.

Let me know if there is anything that needs to be clarified.
