What ever I put in the corn calculator it come out with normal every time, just het for something. What am I doing wrong?
Im not planning to breed for a long time but was just curious
I have 1 Carolina male - GP on here suggested he was probably a motley
And I have 1 blood red het lavender hypo
Then I have 4 females
1 snow 1 amel 1 anery and 1 peter
What could I get from that lot?
Thanks |

as with any animal (humans included) the more inbreeding, the more chance of 'bad traits' coming to light whether they are heterozygous recessive becoming homozygous or they maybe polygenetic that become more apparent (just as line breeding eg reverse okeetee does) |

ah, gotcha, cheers. i did think of the whole incest thing at first, but it seems to be the done thing with the breeders. did see a site on deformitys with royals (think it was a pertic morph, not just in general) if they are bred back to much. whats a safe limit with corns?

no and no - snakes don't understand the concept of 'family' :D |

yes thats correct, or you can breed the babies to each other |

right, im a bit slow on the morph thing. Am i right in understanding that with all the parings afformentioned if you were to breed one of the off-spring back to its parent (the kid being a het, right?) THEN you'd get morphs? im really struggling to get my head round genetics lol |

thanks everyone for your input, it's good to know. Mainly I just love keeping the snakes, but who knows in a few years time, i might consider breeding.

bloodred x pewter = 100% diffused het charcoal
any other pairing with what you have got will give you normals het for the parents morphs |

your bloodred x pewter wont make bloodreds and pewters unless the bloodred is het for charcoal. You will get normals and some diffused from this pairing.
corn snakes genes are recessive so requires both snakes to carry the same genes to provide morphs. |

Sorry, my mistake, I just checked back. You said he was possibly Hypo (not motley) my bad! :-D |

I 2nd this. Romeo is motley and his belly has no marks on it at all. Pure white xx |

So if I were to breed them, chances are I'd only get normals, lots and lots of normals? Or could some come out just looking like 1 or the other of theirbpafents. Eg could blood red x pewter make blood red & pewter separately or would the all just come out normal? |

carolina motley x snow = normals het amel anery motley
carolina motley x amel = normals het amel motley
carolina motley x anery = normals het anery motley
carolina motley x pewter = normals het diffused charcoal motley
blood red het lavender hypo x snow = normals het amel anery diffused 50% het lavender hypo
blood red het lavender hypo x amel = normals het amel diffused 50% het lavender hypo
blood red het lavender hypo x anery = normals het anery diffused 50% het lavender hypo
blood red het lavender hypo x pewter = normals het diffused charcoal 50% het lavender hypo and diffused het charcoal 50% het lavender hypo
