    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....

So I am wondering, in your opinion what is the best way to get three completely diffetent genes into a project quickly & smoothly.

IE someone said to me the follow combos:

Fire fly(pastel fire) x Yellow Belly = the odds I believe are 1 in 8

Fire Pastel Yellow Belly

Someone else said


Super Fly(Super Pastel Fire) x Yellow belly = to guarantee the odds 1 in 4

Pastel Fire Yellow Belly

What's your opinions or experience putting the odd number gene combos to work ?
 
I don't really work with the co-doms so much, but fastest way? Use super everything. Then all your babies will have all the genes you want. Way more expensive, but if you're looking for speed over luck ...

super pastel super fire x ivory = every single hatchling a YB Firefly.
 
Not only expensive, but probably hard to find available for supers... I'd probably try a superfly x Fire YB; or Superfly x Fire Ivory, if you could find one... I really would be surprised if you could find a fire ivory for sale that was close to breeding or a proven breeder.

Good luck!

Only problem with that is when you have a chance at getting an all white snake, you might not be able to tell what else is in there until you breed it. I understand sometimes you can see it, sometimes black lights help, but sometimes you just don't know. Absolute easiest way is to buy one! If you want a specific 3 gene animal, it may take you a couple years to get it. You may get it in the first shot though. I would go with a firefly to a pastel yellow belly. Both of those are fairly inexpensive.
 
Shadera, none of us work with co-dominant traits, they are incomplete dominant traits :)

2 gene male X 2 gene female would probably be the most affordable way into 3 gene or 4 gene combos.

Spider yb male X lemonblast female etc ...
