    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 just started breeding snakes and i got a good start but i need some help i have a female anery 66% het snow i have a male hypo poss het hypo and i have a female albino poss het snow but i want to breed sunglows so i was wondering i would need a male hypo het albino or a hypo het hypo right
 
I'm a little confused by "hypo het hypo", do you mean a hypo het albino?

You said you just started breeding snakes, what have you bred? I would highly recommend looking up the Mendal punnet square and increasing your knowledge of genetic inheritance for a good understanding of recessive/dominant. It really helps when you try to determine the % of which morphs will be produced from certain breedings. Some basic info just in case you haven't seen it before:
http://anthro.palomar.edu/mendel/mendel_2.htm

A sunglow is a boa that expresses the recessive albino trait as well as the dominant hypo trait. You can achieve those results in a variety of ways. For the sake of argument, I am going to assume you meant your male is a hypo poss het albino.

Female anery poss het albino (snow) bred by your male hypo poss het albino:
1)if both boas prove out to be het albino, you could get sunglows and albinos het anery (moonglow/snow), hypos and normals het anery poss het albino/snow.

The only way to know if either is in fact a het is through breeding trials, so if you bred them and don't get any sunglows or albinos, then that would mean that either one is not a het or both are not het (or you got really bad odds). So in that case...
2)If only one is a het you would end up with hypos and normals het anery poss het albino.
3)If neither is a het you would end up with hypos and normals het anery.

Next!
If you bred the female albino poss het anery (snow) to the male hypo poss het albino, again, it would depend if you male proved out to be a het or not. This breeding (breeding the poss het to a visual) would be the one that would prove out your male one way or the other as being het or not. I would recommend this breeding first.
1)If he was a het you would get: sunglows and albinos poss het anery, hypos and normals het albino and poss het anery.
2)If he's not a het you would get: hypos and normals het albino poss het anery

Hope that helps
-April
