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.

Albino Ghost
It is my understanding all offspring would be triple het,unless ghost is dominant (which I'm hoping mine is) in which case all would be ghosts.

defining heterozygous
heres a twist there are actually two allelles per locus and with that in mind even a dominant (actually isnt salmon co-dominant considering there are super salmons) COULD be het because by definition het means TWO DIFFERENT ALLELLES!!
one could be the dominant gene and one the normal gene which still makes a hypo but genetically speaking its still a het.
HET is an abreviation for the word heterozygous. look the word up it doesnt mean "looks normal but carries the gene for..." but in RECESSIVE traits you need two of THE SAME genes in order for the trait to work. so many think that it does carry that definition.
so like i was saying your ghost x albino will make rougly 50% hypos and 50% normals that are het for both albino and anery. UNLESS it is homozygous (both allelles on the locus are the dominant hypo gene) in which case you will get ALL hypos het for both albino and anery.
when crossing the offspring you can make anerys, albinos, sunglows (hybinos), snows, ghosts, hypos and super hypos.
heres the results from the genetics wizard:

1.5625% WT

p.s. 1.5625% would become an albino/superhypo/anery. what ever the hell thats called but id sure like to see one.

I know this is old, but I had to respond anyway.
I am not a pro when it comes to genetics, but the Hypo gene (in boas) is a dominant gene. And I actually think the term super is wrong when it come to the salmons. I believe double dose would more properly describe the homozygous condition in Salmons. there is no way 100% to tell them apart from the rest of the litter.
In order for a gene to be codominant, there has to be the possibilty of three phenotypes. like when two motley boas are bred, some motleys, and some with a drastically different pattern then the rest. Super Motleys. This is the way codominance works.
That being said, the salmon part of the ghost, (not proven double dosed yet??) can throw normals.
So in "FACT" (I say this, because the salmon can affect any percentage of the litter being dominant, so numbers are impossible, I hate punnett squares, so lets just use the phenotypical possibilities.)....
You'll get Normals, and Hypos........ And all would be het for anery and albino (since one parent was anery, and one albino). So some DH and some Triple Hets. And the good news is you will be able to tell immediately which is which. "D
Now this is just My understanding of boa genetics, I may be a little bit off, but not too far I think.

Perhaps a SnowGlow? That would be cool. I didn't want to go to the TH possibilities. I aint ready to think that hard about it.

doesnt salmon have 2 phenotypes? super salmons have less spotting and less melanin as a whole, right? this has been my understanding.

My female albino is now gravid by my male ghost, (pot dom) now if he is dominant all babies will be triple het, and if not 1/2 will be hypos(triple het) het albino and anery, the other 1/2 will be normal appearing animals (dh) albino and anery. I see on 8/04 I had no clue what I was talking about!! Teach me.

No, not in My oppinion. If you could tell them apart, you would not have to "prove" them as double doses (supers). You would know for sure by looking at them. You can't tell though, so they are sold as "possibles". Now there is speculation that the so called "supers" have less spotting, and reduced moustaches, but this is not a garuntee (sp) for "super". Mine can't possibly be a double dose, and he has almost no black on Him. I bet I can count less than a hundred black scales on his while body, but he is not a "super". Of this I am certain.
You should check out Charles Pritzels site ( Serpwidgets ) He has a nice site with some good genetic info. Besides, He be much smarter than Me. I had this discussion with Him about salmons a while back. I was wrong back then, I was mis-informed and believed, they were codominant. I think the key word would be a "drastic" difference in the phenotype.
Rick, your answer seems to be how it is working in My mind. Like I said, I am no pro. After 30 yrs of just keeping, I am FINALLY starting to breed. LOL I'm still a newbie. But the genetics is why I started. I wanted to learn more about them, combined with doing it to help make it stick.
Now when you start breeding them triple hets, I don't even want to try for what you'd get. Like I said, not ready to think that hard yet.
Rick
