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.

As above, minus the hets...sunglow, super sunglow, motley albino, motley sunglow
Albino, sunglow, albino motley, motley sunglow
Keep in mind that the odds/percentages for each are statistics, and that they pertain to each baby individually. (For the last case, each baby has a 25% chance of being albino, 25% chance of being sunglow, 25% chance of being albino motley, 25% chance of being sunglow motley.) The number of each actually found in any given litter can vary greatly because the sample size is not "statistically significant" (which just means that it is too small to apply statistical values). Applied over a large enough sample size - it will average out, and be similar to the per baby percentages.

I should probably clarify, since my previous response to this was short. Hypo x hypo will yield normals, hypos, and super hypos.....hypomelanism (in boas) is considered an incomplete dominant trait - not quite the same as codominant, because you can't always reliably tell the difference between the heterozygous and homozygous form. That's where the "possible supers" come in to play....you can have a spectacular hypo that looks like a super, but isn't; or a less than spectacular homozygous (super) hypo that you wouldn't be able to call. A lot of people just label supers by look; and, if they stick to the "obvious"ones, they'll probably be right much of the time. But they'll still be wrong part of the time. It's no big deal labeling a super as a hypo - the customer lucks out on that one....but mislabeling a hypo as a super screws the buyer out of time and money (both in terms of initial cost, and not producing the babies that were anticipated). For that reason, I wouldn't label anything a super unless it is proven....or it is from a pairing of two proven supers.
