I have been breeding normal Kenyans for a few years but haven't read a whole lot about genetics. I bought a proven anery female who mated with one of my normal or albino males. She produced 5 babies and 7 slugs. 2 are anery and the other 3 are normal. Does this mean that the male that bred her was het anery? Also does this make the normal babies 100%Het anery?

Thanks,

I cannot say this with 100% confidence in regards to Kenyans...

But Anery in regards to several other speceis is a recessive trait. This means it has to be present in the genetics of both parents to show out in offspring. Thus this would suggest that your male was het Anery.

When dealing with recessive traits, when one parent is het and the other is homo (homogenous, meaning it displays the color morph) then 100% of the offspring will be either het or homo. So your "nomrals" are actually het Anery.

I believe that since Anery is a proven recessive trait in several species, it would safely be assumed to be a recessive trait in Kenyan Sand Boas unless/until evidence suggests otherwise.
