• In case most of you have not noticed, I made changes to the donation amounts as well as the durations for all of the paid membership levels. Things are winding down here, and this seems to be the most prudent way to deal with the "end of life" period of this site.

    Contributor level members - $10 per 30 days
    Sponsors - Eliminated
    Benefactor level members - $25 per 30 days
    Endowment level members - $50 per 30 days

    On July 1, 2027, all paid memberships will be closed.

    On August 1, 2027, FaunaClassifieds will be terminated.

    Only change I expect that might take place is when I can get around to figuring out when the amount of money I would have to refund for the yearly paid memberships becomes less than the monthly expense of leasing my server, THAT date might be the termination date for the site.

Question...

Hi Dan,
Welcome to ball pythons. This is going to get sloppy and potentially confusing really quick, so I might simplify it a little. For this example I'll identify a male and female though I might have it reverse since you didn't specify.
There are 3 types of ball pythons:
1. Visual
2. 100% het.
3. Possible het. (any percentage less than 100% is basically worthless for calculations or labeling purposes*)
Either an animal is het. OR it is not. So... you need to calculate under two different assumptions, the father is het OR he is not, toss out %s <100%.

Male: Pied 100% het Albino
Female: 100% het Albino, 100% het Pied.
If he is 100% het Albino, you 'pretend' the ratios are something like:

12.5% 1/8 Het Piebald
12.5% 1/8 Piebald
25% 1/4 Double Het Albino Piebald
12.5% 1/8 Albino Het Piebald
25% 1/4 Piebald Het Albino
12.5% 1/8 Albino Piebald


Male: Pied (not het. at all)
Female: 100% het Albino, 100% het Pied.
If he is not het Albino, you 'pretend' the ratios are something like:

25% 1/4 Het Piebald
25% 1/4 Piebald
25% 1/4 Double Het Piebald Albino
25% 1/4 Piebald Het Albino


*odds truly are so unpredictable dealing with het. animals, especially double het that it is honestly futile to calculate or try to guess.
 
Thanks
