Mack Snow Odds.....

Well, 2 more of my Mack Snow eggs hatched, both were normals again

So, Now I have hatched 6 eggs from my Male Mack Snow x Female SHTCT and only got 1 Mack so far. The 50% odds aren't working out too good for me. Anybody else experiencing this or am I the only one that is REALLY unlucky

Ouch that's gotta hurt.

I recall that happening to someone else last year...I don't remember who.

reptiles are different than mammals so idk how that works but ill try and rationalize it. If you have a black mouse and a white mouse and both traits are co-dom then all of their offspring will be grey. however if you breed 2 grey mice to each other the ratio will be 1:2:1 1-black 2-grey 1-white. Thats how the co doms work, odd i know. You can do it on a punnett square and it will show you the same thing. but i guess it doesnt explain the huge stroke of bad luck you seem to be having. it seems to be just that, bad luck.

I think the point of this post is to see if others where experienceing similar results from Mack snow breeding and not what the outcome should be.

Exactly, I know how the odds work, I don't like it though!...LOL

Hi Jeanne,
Last year I bred Mack Snow to Tremper Albino, twelve eggs – three Mack Snows. I bred Mack Snow to Las Vegas Albino, eight eggs – one Mack Snow. It is hard to hit the odds with these guys for some reason.

I hope you have better luck on the next clutch.

Thanks for that info Albey, it is reassuring

You could always hatch two snows on your next clutch and be ahead of the odds with 3/8. Positive thinking.....

Yeah, I was hoping that when I hatched out my last 2 normals, but it didn't work
