how much of a chance for a DB?

[jaredm3624]

if you take a tremper het DB x Tremper het DB, what would the chance of getting a DB? 1 out of 18ish? Or am I wrong?

You are correct double het X double het gives you 6.25% DB

thanks Paul.

glad to help.

Looks like i have my work cut out for me with this project since i am starting with a raptor and bb. two years of breeding with a 6.25 chance in that second breeding. If i got that right.

 

[jaredm3624]

what are the actual genetics in the blizzard? I know the Raptor is patty, eclipse and tremper, but what makes up the blizzard?

 

[hoppslover]

Its a tremper bb

 

[jaredm3624]

Its a tremper bb

I know the TBB, but I don't know the blizzard make up. Is it just a patty something? I'm confused.

Blizzard = random genetic mutation (recessive)
Eclipse eye = random genetic mutation or if you want to get in-depth it’s a result of crossing strip x reverse strip. (recessive)

R.A.P.T.O.R. = Not patty.

R.A.P.T.O.R.

Genetics
Carrot-head (polygenetic)
Carrot-tail (polygenetic)
Tangerine (polygenetic)
Patternless Strip (polygenetic)
Sometimes banded (polygenetic)
Sometimes Jungle (polygenetic)
Tremper Albino (recessive)
Eclipse Eye (recessive)

Description of Morph
The name R.A.P.T.O.R. is an acronym standing for Ruby eye Albino Patternless Tremper ORange. The name does a pretty good job of describing what a R.A.P.T.O.R. should look like. However to completely understand this morph it must be broken up into three sections.

First Section – Line Breed Traits • Carrot-head
• Carrot-tail
• Overall Tangerine Body Color

These traits are all line breed, if you bred an R.A.P.T.O.R. with a good carrot-head, and carrot-tail, with an overall good tangerine body color to an equal the offspring would most likely be in the same range as the parents. If you took either one of the first R.A.P.T.O.R.s and bred them to an R.A.P.T.O.R. with less carrotting on their head and tail and an overall less colorful body you would most likely get offspring that are in-between.

Second Section – Pattern Variations • Patternless Strip
• Banded
• Jungle

Pattern Phases are technically line breed. Some claim for they act recessive. With the little work I have done with pattern phases I have noticed that they just tend to pop up when and where they like and don’t follow any rules. However saying that your best bet to produce a patternless R.A.P.T.O.R. is to breed two R.A.P.T.O.R.s that are patternless, if you want banded R.A.P.T.O.R.s breed two banded ones together, same thing for jungle. Breed one of two of the phases together, and you’ll be in for a surprised.

Third Section – These are what I prefer to call actual genes
• Tremper Albino
• Eclipse Eye

The Tremper Albino and Eclipse Eye morphs are simple recessive.

Hope that helps.
