The more I think about this pair, the more I confuse myself. Temper Albino Mack Snow het Diablo Blanco x Mack Snow . Correct me if I'm wrong. 1/3 will be Mack Snow with 100% being het for Tremper and 50% ph DB. 1/3 will be Super Mack Snow, 100% het for Tremper and 50% ph for DB. And last 1/3 Wild Type 100% het for Tremper and 50% ph for DB. I know that's a lot to take in! LOL! Thank you in advance for any enlightenment !

1/2 will be mack snow 100% het tremper, 50% ph eclipse, 50% ph blizzard

1/4 will be super snow 100% het tremper, 50% ph eclipse, 50% ph blizzard

1/4 will be wild type 100% het tremper, 50% ph eclipse, 50% ph blizzard

I've separated out the traits rather than just saying "het diablo blanco" because now that you have possible hets, it's a little bit different. There is a 50% chance of being het eclipse, and a 50% chance of being het blizzard separately. That means your chances of having babies that are het both eclipse and blizzard is 25%. It gets a bit complicated because you are dealing with so many traits.

Your chance of the best possible outcome (super snow het tremper, eclipse, and blizzard) is 6.25%

Thank you for your reply, and I wrote it like that before, but DB is supposed to stand on its own! But if the ph turn out to be het for blizzard than it would also be het eclipse, pretty much that's the DB gene. So what I'm saying is that the eclipse and blizzard gene won't be split between two different lizards ?

But they will be split. DB is not a gene. It is our made up name for the result of 3 different traits (associated with 3 different genes) together; tremper albino, eclipse, and blizzard. These are all inherited separately.

So you will get some babies (mack snow, super snow, or wild type phenotypically) that will be het blizzard and not eclipse, some that will be het eclipse and not blizzard, some that will be het for both, and some that will be het for neither.

Wow thank you! That makes sense, thats kind of what I thought, but Tremper describes it as a stand on its own gene, and he compares it to how dog breeds evolve into their own breed. Just a little confusing but thats a lot of genetics in one lizard

Hmm, can't say I'm familiar with Tremper's discussion on that. I don't see any reason why these traits wouldn't follow the standard rules of inheritance that they follow in every other situation. They are definitely inherited separately when dealing with RAPTORs, so I'm pretty sure adding blizzard in would not change the dynamics of their inheritance.

Good luck with your pairing. =)

Thanks for the link, I hadn't seen it before. I personally don't buy that at all. That link is also quite old, so I think there has been a lot more breeding of them since then.

Anybody is welcome to correct me if I'm, though.

Glad I could be of help. =)
