hello

few things on my mind
anery boa x hypo =
then grabing say 2.2 of the offspring and mating back to each other or back to the parents,

separate question

how does a breeder grantee a hypo is het albnio?
what will he have m8 to produce it

>anery boa x hypo =

1/2 hypo, heterozygous anerythristic
1/2 normal looking, heterozygous anerythristic

>then grabing say 2.2 of the offspring and mating back to each other or back to the parents,

Offspring to parents:
anerythristic x hypo, heterozygous anerythristic -->
1/4 hypo, anerythristic
1/4 hypo, heterozygous anerythristic
1/4 anerythristic
1/4 normal looking, heterozygous anerythristic

anerythristic x heterozygous anerythristic -->
1/2 anerythristic
1/2 normal looking, heterozygous anerythristic

hypo x hypo, heterozygous anerythristic -->
1/8 homozygous hypo (AKA super hypo), heterozygous anerythristic
1/8 homozygous hypo (AKA super hypo)
2/8 hypo, heterozygous anerythristic
2/8 hypo
1/8 normal looking, heterozygous anerythristic
1/8 normal

hypo x heterozygous anerythristic -->
1/4 hypo
1/4 hypo, heterozygous anerythristic
1/4 normal
1/4 normal looking, heterozygous anerythristic

Brother x sister:
hypo, heterozygous anerythristic x hypo, heterozygous anerythristic -->
1/16 homozygous hypo (superhypo), anerythristic
2/16 homozygous hypo (superhypo), heterozygous anerythristic
1/16 homozygous hypo (superhypo)
2/16 hypo, anerythristic
4/16 hypo, heterozygous anerythristic
2/16 hypo
1/16 anerythristic
2/16 normal looking, heterozygous anerythristic
1/16 normal

hypo, heterozygous anerythristic x normal looking, heterozygous anerythristic -->
1/8 hypo, anerythristic
2/8 hypo, heterozygous anerythristic
1/8 hypo
1/8 anerythristic
2/8 normal looking, heterozygous anerythristic
1/8 normal

normal looking, heterozygous anerythristic x normal looking, heterozygous anerythristic -->
1/4 anerythristic
2/4 normal looking, heterozygous anerythristic
1/4 normal

As you can't tell the difference between heterozygous anerythristics and normals and between hypo, heterozygous anerythristic and hypos, you may want to pool those pairs of classes into single classes.

One of the hypo's parents must be albino. Here are a couple of matings that will produce a hypo that is heterozygous albino:

1. Hypo x albino --> 1/2 hypo, heterozygous albino, 1/2 normal looking, heterozygous albino

2. Sunglow x normal --> 1/2 hypo, heterozygous albino, 1/2 normal looking, heterozygous albino

Hypo x sunglow, hypo, heterozygous albino x albino, and sunglow x heterozygous albino will also produce hypo, heterozygous albino babies. The cheapest way to go is the hypo x albino mating, though.

Hope this helps.
