if i had a normal checkered garter x an albino checkered would that make half and half?

[ssssnakeluvr]

the babies would be hets..... as far as albino x albino breeding, the genes need to be compatible also...i bred my nebraska albino with my iowa christmas albino and got hets as the genes aren't conmpatible...gotta match up in the dna....

[reptileparadise]

Yes...Genetics are quite simple...when you finally master them!

As Don says...

nebraska albino with my iowa christmas albino

These are two albino strains....So you wil get offspring het for Nebraska en het for Iowa.

But to answer your question...Yes, Normal marcianus X albino marcianus will give you nothing but hets.
Breeding those hets back to each other (brother X sister pairing...) will give you 25 % albino and al the others would be poss. het albino (not a garantuee there will be any albino's in the litter. With each baby, you have a 25% chance of it being albino)


Breeding an het. baby back to the albino parent will result in 50 / 50. 50 %^will be albino and the other 50 % will be het. albino. No possible hets in this story!
But again, nog garantuee that there will be any albino's! On the other hand its also possible all the babies are albino! (theoretically...spelling??? )

If you have any questions...always ask! I think I can say I'm quite into the genes...(school and 3 years of breeding leopardgecko morphs...and, with that, 2 years of deciding to breed with them-->doing genetic ""research"" )

but no quarantuee to get any hets too(all can be albino too)
its just like casting the dice again and again

I know the feeling. I actually manage to wrap my brain around it for about 5 seconds before I lose it again. It's not even a year since I last had it explained to me and I actually had a clear picture in my head, but right now I'm as confused as you.

Now I don't feel so bad
I always thought, you had a total grip on this kind of stuff
I was ashamed to admit, that I have to draw it out on paper every time and somehow there's no permanent file in my brain
