I have two 100 percent het for anetherystic red tail boas. I was wondering if I bred them and them bred two of the babies what would happen? I do not know very much on breeding so I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

If you mate the heterozygous anerythristic boas, you can expect 1/4 of the babies to be anerythristic and 3/4 of the babies to look normal. What you actually get probably will not match those fractions exactly, but it is likely to be close. Many, but not all, of the normal-looking babies will be heterozygous anerythristic. You can sell all of the normal babies as 66% probability heterozygous anerythristics.

I would sell most of these babies and buy relatively unrelated stock for further breeding.

Good luck.

Thank you very much for your reply. What would you personally recommend breeding with them to get the best results?

I'd consider adding albino to make snows, salmon to make ghosts, or a pattern mutant like arabesque. You might prefer something else, though.

Along the lines of this topic, I have a few NU-B questions.

What does breeding Anery to Anery produce (all anery, or maybe a mix of Anerys and hets from parents?)

What does breeding Anery to Albino produce?

What are the "steps" to Snows, if I have an Anery already?
