    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi! I have a 66% het anery het albino male boa I want to breed to my triple het moonglow boa. I'm still really dicey with the genetics and am taking a class this fall semester on genetics so I'll hopefully understand this a lot more. What offspring would they produce?
 
I would imagine possible snows (anery+albino), possible moonglows (since hypo can be passed on from a single parent), possibly ghost (hypo+anery), sunglow a (hypo+albino), albino, and lots of hets (non-visuals).

It all depends on if the anery proves out. If you get a ghost, a snow, or a moonglow it will be proved.
 
If one of the parents was an anery, he isn't a 66% het (he IS het anery).
 
I thought anery was recessive like albino. Are you saying its co-dominant like hypomelanism?

Not at all - 66% hets are the product of het x het pairings. If the pairing WAS albino x anery, the snake is a double het.
Breeding the double het to the triple het moonglow could yield:
Possible double hets, hypo possible double hets, albino poss het anery, sunglow poss het anery, anery poss het albino, ghost poss het albino, snow, & moonglow.

That is, naturally, assuming that the pairing really was albino x anery. If the snake is actually het albino, 66% het anery - as was originally posted - none of the anery related morphs will happen unless he proves.
 
I don't think my post went. Doing this from my phone stinks. He did say the parents were anery and albino but then said the snake was 66% anery het albino. It is perfectly plausible that I heard him wrong or that he misspoke. Either way, it will be pretty exciting to have babies.
