According to the "world of hognose" genetic page the following will result:

male toffe x female albino conda ='s all hets for both genes.

male evans (t positive) x female albino also ='s all hets for both

Wasn't too sure if any visible morphs on male side would result.

Appreciate any input on this.

Thanks, Mike

Is that a clutch you got from the male toffee X albino conda? If so, that means the male toffee was 100% het for albino. So in that clutch your albinos are 100% het toffee and the normals are 100% het toffee and 100% het albino.

Also, was the female albino conda bred last season? If so, she could have retained sperm from the previous breeding.

Sorry, posted last year's babies by mistake (male het conda x fem.albino conda breeding).

The male toffee,2013, is a first timer (65 grams). The others (fem. albino conda and albino females)used last year.

Was thinking about using the toffee with the albino conda, and hypo with the albino. Hypo bred last year with a het albino only.

Wondered if toffee male x alb.conda would produce toffee condas and the hypo x albino produce a lighter version of the evans hypo. Also have a male super(over 50 grams from 2014, het albino) but that would give me normal and albino supers, plus whatever else.

Ok, I see what you are asking. Being that the albino, toffee, and Evans hypo are all recessive genes, you will not get any visuals in your first generation.

For example if you breed the toffee male to the albino anaconda female, you will get all normals and normal condas that are heterozygous for both albino and toffee.

If you breed the hypo to the albino, you will get all normals that are het for both hypo and albino.

Here is a double homozygous evans hypo/albino we produced. Not super impressive to be honest. After producing this double visual, we decided to scrap the project.

Thanks for the info. I'll save the toffee for non conda females and produce hets. I already have het axanthics, hypos, so het toffees should add to the mix.
