I have a Ghost motley corn snake female. i dont know if it has any hets and im going to breed her.
i have found a male that is a snow that possibly has caramel through it?
do yous think i should buy the snow and breed it with my Ghost motley? and what babys would it produce?

I wonder if your ghost motley is het for amel. A lot of snakes seem to be so I wonder what that would do to the genetics....

*goes off to play with the corncalc again*
Oh, not much lol.

Dont worry the female meets all the requirements and thanks nexivred i know im hopeing the two have some hidden hets and hopefully i can get some goodies! i will be keeping all the goodies tho haha

Ooohh, I love playing on the corncalc.

If the snow IS het for caramel, then your first lot of babies will be all anery het amel and hypo, and have a 50% chance of being het caramel. Keep two of THOSE back, and if they are not both het for caramel you'll get:
Anery
Snow
Ghost
Coral Snow

However if both of them are you'll get:
Aneries
Snow
Ghost
Anery Caramel
Xanthic Snow!
Coral Snow
Citrine!
Hypo Anery Caramel


Phew! So the tl;dr version of that is - if the snow is het for caramel, and you happen to keep two babies that are also het for caramel, you have a great breeding project on your hands! It's all so exciting :D
I completely forgot to put motley in the calculator, but seeing as it's only a pattern you can guess what it does. Motley citrine anyone?

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong with any of this. Still learning!

make sure your female especcially is up to breeding age, weight, and size first ;) (3 years old, three foot lond and 300g) :)

Thanks for the help mate, my first time breeding as well so ill be very nervous
Figs Posted - 13/07/2012 : 14:28:33
Haha! Sounds good to me

You might get a couple of snows out - everything seems to be het for amel lol
Never know unless you try!
Scottishlewis Posted - 13/07/2012 : 14:27:05
Doesnt matter im going to get it hopefully they have hets for, ps what are the chances that they do?
Scottishlewis Posted - 13/07/2012 : 14:07:36
In long term would you say go for it and keep a couple of the hatclings for their hets?
Figs Posted - 13/07/2012 : 14:05:44
Its totally your call and what you want to produce
Unless they have any matching hets, that pairing would give you visual aneries het for amel, hypo and motley, possible het caramel
