help with a cross!

[peppered...leopard]

OK, so I have a ruby-eyed RAPTOR female and a Super Snow het. Tremper that I thought I could cross to possibly get a SUPER RAPTOR. Well, is that possible and what else would I get?

Is your super snow het raptor? If not, then you won't get raptors, just hets.

He's het. Tremper, but with the ruby eyes on one side and the supersnow eyes on the other I'm kinda confused!

Super Snow eyes are not the same as eclipse eyes.

The best you'll get is a Snow Tremper het RAPTOR.

Ooooooh, I thought Ruby-Eyes were like an albino version of the eclipse, thanx Kristy! I was just reading on Ron Tremper's website: "Additionally, the thinking at this time, is that the ECLIPSE/RAPTOR is not related genetically to the Super Snows. However, many people think that crossing the ECLIPSE/RAPTOR with a Mack Super Snow will be an interesting experiment."
I think it will be an interesting experiment but what the heck will it yield lol....what if I have a Ruby-Eyed RAPTOR times SuperSnow het. RAPTOR???

Ruby Eyes are albino Eclipse eyes. They both have to be at least het for the Eclipse eye trait to get what you want. RAPTOR x SS het RAPTOR will give you the possibility of Snow RAPTORS among other things. Is the SS albino or just het? Try this: http://dev.lovegeckos.com/ it's really cool, and it'll come in handy. It will take you a minimum of two seasons to work toward the SS RAPTOR from that pair.

Omigosh Ken, I could just hug you!!!
Thanks for the link. I'm going to be wasting a lot of time there, methinks.
