ball questions...

[Madd Season Morphs]

hello all, sorry for my ass'inine questions up front...i know nothing at all about morphs, the how 2's and the do nots....


im buying a 100 percent het pied ball male, and am interested in mateing him, so im looking around at albinos...cant find any cheap ones....im a nickle and dime kinda dude...so i found a add for 100 percent het for albino females...

my question is, if i buy 1 or more of these females, after thy mated with my boy would their be any cool pups slithering around?

i personnaly only understand 100 percet for whatever, does this mean i may get a piebald,or perhaps a coupl cool albinos...again im stupid! please remember this, before you come unglued on me...criticizm i can handle,, s it talkin aint cool...anyways thanks to all willing to help..in advance...thanks

Ok, you will not hatch out any visable morph from that combination. The only way you wold get any piebaled is if you paired him wth a het female or a visiable(looks piebale) female. f you bred the het albino female to the het pibald male you would get the folowing out of the clutch
25% Normal
25% Het. Albino,
25% Het. Piebald,
25% Het. Piebald, Het. Albino
Now since you cannot tell a het from a normal by looking at them they would be considered I beleive 50% hets(correct me if im wrong). Genetics can be tricky.....

not so fast...

Thats a real good and not quite so expensive way to get into morphs, it just takes longer...Once you have your possible het babies, you can breed them to each other or back to the parent hets to prove out their genetics...odds are you (should) get a visible morph...

...instead of buying an albino or het albino, buy all the normal females you have space for, raise them up with your het piebald to get a few clutches of 50% het babies, and breed the babies to each other...Any piebalds you hatch out you can outcross to an unrelated female you have for 100% hets...

...JMHO ball morphs are not a get rich quick scheme...they take patience, tons of knowledge and a good bit of cash...the best suggestion I can give you is DO YOUR HOMEWORK...good luck and peace

AWSOME advice Chris.

You will have alot more fun with these animals if you don't pay attention to the $$$$ that MAY come with these animals.

I would say start with 1.2 hets of either pieds or albinos, or maybe start with a dom/co-dom traight that is attractive to you.

Good luck and let us know what you decide on.
