Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Honduran Milksnake Genetics Question
So I've read "The Guide to Honduran Milksnakes" by Douglas Mong and James Tintle and this is my understanding of how breeding my current Milksnakes will play out. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I'm sure most of you here are a lot more experienced with breeding than I am.
I have 3 hondos.
(F) Hypo Tricolor
(F) Albino
(M) Snow
If I breed the Snow with the Albino I will get
1/4 Snow (Anery + Amel)
3/4 Albino (Amel)
or is it...
1/2 Snow
1/2 Albino
If I breed the Snow with the Hypo I will get
1/2 Ghost (Hypo + Anery)
1/2 Hypo (Hypo + Amel)
Please help me figure this out... lol, I'm really struggling here.

Unless I'm mistaken, all are recessive genes, correct? I'm more of hognose guy but here goes.
Anery, amel (male) X amel (female)=all albinos het anery
Anery, amel (male) X hypo (female)=all normal triple hets hypo, Anery and amel
I'd get a second opinion...

Jet76 is correct they are all recessive.

So if the Hype and Snow reproduce it will produce all tripple hets for Amel, Anery, and Hypo.
I'm not sure of the ethics of it but from what I read it's pretty mixed..
If I were to breed the offspring of these tripple hets what would I produce from them?
I want to check to see if I'm doing this punnet square thing correctly...
I'm using 9 squares with each genetic trait on the left and top of the squares and my math is telling me:
1/9 Anery
1/9 Hypo
1/9 Amel
2/9 Normal dbl het Amel/Anery
2/9 Normal dbl het Hypo/Anery
2/9 Normal dbl het Hypo/Amel

So there's a 1/64 chance of a tripple homo?
This actually does clear it up.
Is the tripple het to tripple het what makes this more complicated?
Is it not recommended to breed tripple het to tripple het for beginners?

Nathan, most honduran keepers have replaced their triple-het male with a more potent male genetically speaking, to increase odds of producing multiple genetic offspring, for instance, a Ghost Het-Albino or Hybino Het-Anery would yield greater multiple genetic offspring.
To awnser your question, nothing wrong with breeding a triple-Het pair, just more chance of producing wild type offspring. :-)
