raptor enigmas

[r3dtailboa19]

hello everyone!i bred my bell enigma male to my raptor female and i have found out that the offspring will be 1/2 enigma and 1/2 normal all het bell and raptor. so how exactly would i get a raptor enigma?would i have to breed the enigmas back to each other? and what exactly what i get from that. i really need help! thanks.

I think you would need an enigma het. raptor to breed with your raptor female

The enigmas that you produce should be het raptor

 

[MSMD]

1. You could breed 2 of the offspring together, providing at least 1 is an Enigma, seeing as they will both be het for Raptor.

2. You could breed one of the male Enigma offspring back to the dam.

3. You could breed one of the Enigma offspring to an unrelated Raptor or Raptor het.

Hope that helps!

My thoughts exactly. An understanding of the fact that a RAPTOR is a Tremper strain albino carrying the Eclipse eye gene and the knowledge that you won't produce Albinos of either strain (provided there are no dirty gene pools with Trempers het Bell and vice versa) by breeding a BELL Enigma to a RAPTOR (TREMPER), could or should have prevented him from doing this. Now, he will produce some normals het for Tremper, Eclipse (non-Albino form of Raptor), and Bell and some Enigmas het for Tremper, Eclipse, and Bell. What a mess this will be if someone buys these Enigma offspring and don't know how they were produced and get a surprise somewhere down the line....... at least, IMHO, that is the kind of surprise I would not want. I like Tremper Enigmas and Bell (Red-Eye) ENigmas, but each in their own way.
