    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

i need advice.

i have 3 males, a pastel, a cinnamon, and an albino. up till now i was currently breeding all 3 to 4 normal females. i spoke to someone who i have purchased snakes from and they were saying i should not breed my co doms to the same snakes as i am breeding my recessive. my thinking was, if the clutch comes out normal then obviously the sire would have to be the albino. and if the sire was the cinnamon or the pastel a portion of the clutch would look accordingly. he seemed so busy trying to get his point across i am not sure he was hearing what i was attempting to say and just gave up. am i missing something? is my line of thinking off? any help would be appreciated. thanks.
 
It has been said that more than one male can sire a clutch; so putting both recessive and codom males to the same female means you can't say if any of the babies are heterozygous for the recessive trait.

If I am understanding HIS point correctly..there would be a chance of normals too if you bred one female to a recessive AND a co-dom. In this case of breeding one Normal to a Recessive and a Co-dom, you actually would not be 100% sure which was the sire. In other words, you would have no way of knowing which were the Hets and which were the Normals because it could be a split clutch.
 
Ahahahahahahaha, youth, and faster fingers WINS :rofl:

If you breed a codom to a normal you can produce all normals. So if you breed the codoms and a recessive to a normal female, you have no way to tell if the normal looking babies were parented from the recessive male or the codom male.
