So Ive had mera who is my female she is a normal. I just ordered my first male who I will try to breed with her. He is a rainwater hybino. What are my chances of getting what? thanks

I believe a normal and a hybino can produce 100% normals all het for albino that have some reduced spotting

ight cool thanks. This will be the first time I have bred anything lol so lets hope this year goes ok. I dont think that mera has bred for her previous owner but he never tried to get her to, and I know the hybino is a proven breeder. thanks again

ok sorry Im very new to the breeding and I thought I understood the het but Ive been doing some more reading. Het for albino means that if i breed two leos that are both het for albino some of the clutch will be albino right? I saw some places say this and saw others say other wise. thanks

Yes,
Het X het will be 50% albino and %50 normals 66% het albino.(estimate)

Easier way to go

Het to het will give 25% albino 50% het and 25% normal. The normals and hets look alike.

The easier option to know what your second generation of babies will be is to hatch females this year and breed back to the father next year, instead of het to het. Doing this only has 2 outcomes: You have albinos and hets. Pretty easy to tell who's who from day one! I hate loose ends and the 2/3 chance for het just kills me! Good luck!

So what actually makes them be het? Is it just if they have the gene?

edit: ok cook thanks Ill try that breeding them back to the father. thanks again

Me being new to and just reading posts im still misunderstanding what het means.

 

[cjam]
