    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....

This is some pics of my first hatchlings, their about 2 weeks old. My question is what do you think they will be? The mother is an albino and the father is a Hypo Carrottail. Will they produce a mix of hypos, albinos, and sunglows or just mostly one kind? These guys are so cute!

That's cool I don't know what the mother's parents were so I am not sure. They sure are cuties ! They will probably look like hypos like thier dad and be het for albino. I am hoping some will be sunglows too. Thier dark bands are allready starting to fade some.
 
The only way you can produce sunglows is if the father is het albino. If your breeding a albino(female) to a SHCT(male) you will produce all shct het albino.
 
So my hypo male has to be het for albino and then bred to an albino to make sunglows? Wow I have alot to learn about their genetics ! Thanks for the info.
 
ALbino of any of the 3 strains is recessive, in other words you need both peices of the puzzle to mnake a albino. With out one of the parents being albino or het albino you will produce no albino babies. I think you are getting a bit confused with codom traits. Codom trait are exactly that codominent, meaning you only need on copy of the puzzle to recreate the morph. For example a codom snow breed to a normal will produce 50% of the offspring will be codom snow. Now that will never work with any of the recessive trait because both alleles(copies) must be present in the egg to have a baby phenotypically(show the morph) represent the morph
Genotypic=genetic make up(not seen AKA hets)
Phentotypic= outside appearence(results from the genes)
I dont mean to teach it or offend you so if you know this disregaurd the post, but hopefully this puts a better handle on it.
 
No that's great I am a bit dense about how the genetics work hopefully it will eventually sink in. I appreciate any info anyone can give me. I am enjoying my leos immensely and want to learn all I can.
 
Just an update on my new babies. I now have 4 sets of hatchlings ( the 4th set were to small to put with the others) and they are cute as a button ! lol
