breeding outcomes

[garylee9122]

if i breed my female tiger het albino to my normal male het albino what should the outcome be

[keithdude6848]

Tiger is a co dominant trait. Albino being recessive

Breeding a tiger to a normal will produce 50% tigers and 50% normals *Theoretically*

When breeding a het albino to a het albino 25% *Theoretically* will be albino


So in your case you will get 50% tigers and 25% of those tigers will be albino as well

As well as 25% of your non tigers being Albino


The rest will be tiger or normal 66% het for albino

keith is correct... 13.5% should be albino tigers, 13.5% should be normal albino's, 36.5% should be tigers, and 36.5% should be normals. of all the non albino snakes, 66% will be het albino, but you won't be able to tell which ones are and which ones aren't, so each one has a 66% chance of being het albino.

sweet when i do breed them hopefully i get enough eggs to get a little of everything

[Donnie_K]

The only problem is the possible hets aren't worth any more than the normals. You have to be very careful who you sell those too. It's hard to find good homes for a retic now days. Lots of buyers, but most of them are no-where near qualified to own an apex predator such as a retic, and those are are the guys that keep ending up on the news because they did something stupid, bringing us closer and closer to losing our right to own these animals. The ones that are qualified (and even some that arent) tend to go for the higher end morphs. Just something to think about before you go and produce 30 eggs or so that you will be responsable for...

i wouldnt even sell the 66% hets as hets i sell them and non hets thats what i did with ball pythons

[Donnie_K]

Not what I meant... I meant careful who you let one of these go home with. These are not an animal for anyone lacking experience or common sense

[Pirarucu]

This^ always be careful you're not selling to some drunk who's gonna keep it in a taped up aquarium.

[garylee9122]

oh i know i wouldnt sell to anyone who one cant house them right or feed them right and no one under 18 or people who dont have enough experience to care for them they way they need

[keithdude6848]

I hope you truly stick to that.....  Many people go in saying the same thing... But when you all kinds of retics sitting in your herp room not selling, growing fast and costing you money people tend to put those standards aside.

I truly hope you won't become one of them
