When breeding Dominant or Co dominant Males(Lessers,Spiders,Pastels) to normal females can visual Morphs be produced first year breeding if viable eggs hatch? And if they can be produced how many can you expect from an 8 egg clutch?

Yes when you breed a dominant or co dominant male or female you can produce visual Morphs, at least that's what I'm counting on LOL... I expect to get 6 morphs and 4 normals out of 8 eggs  I'm looking for a couple sets of twins, I have high hopes LOL... ;D |

Thats the kind of attitude I like !
I hope to produce a load of lessers this season and some base morphs. I will not confirm who is right or wrong until next weeks question. Lets get some more input!!!!!
Thanks for the anwer !

Yes they can be produced, you "SHOULD" get 4, unless the parent was a "super" form then, you should get 8 babies carrying that trait.

I'm still new at this but say you breed a piebald with a normal, you should hatch 4 piebalds and 4 het for piebald? If I'm wrong then sorry, this was all off what I've learned so far.

Thats what this board is about ! we encourage questions at any level! Genetically there are basically 3 categories. Dominant , Co Dominant and Simple Recessive. First you need to determine what group your animal is in. Pieds are Simple recessive and requires both parents to have the gene to produce a visual morph. A pied bred to a normal the outcome would be all normal in appearance but would all be 100% het for pied. If you raised those 100% het babies to breeding size and bred those hets to the pied or a 100% het to a 100% het you will produce a visual pied. Dominant and Codominat do not require both parents to carry the gene. So in case of a spider for example a spider is a dominant gene. A spider to normal will produce half spider and half normals. Unlike simple recessive with dominant genes ther are no hets there either normal or visual morph. There are also super forms but we will let you absorb this and go over supers at a later time. Im working on a genetics page for the site and should post it to the site soon. Thanks for your input!

Great answer. I remember when I first got back into boas, I had to think back real hard to try and remeber the genetics stuff I learned in high school. It's pretty cool that new folks can come on this site and ask questions, and get great answers. Not like alot of places where they might not even get a response or somebody would just go off on them. We all had to learn at sometime. Thanks for helping to share the knowledge. Take Care, Nick

Thanks Nick!
No flaming of newbies will be tolerated here!
this is a sharing and learning forum and it goes back to the old saying. there is no such thing as a stupid question and we encourage even the basic questions. I have been on forums and witnessed some pretty brutal ststments towards people that just want to learn. Now I have the ability to delete people that have nothing to add but negative statements.
