Possibilites With My Own Sand Boas

As I previously stated, i have four kenyan sand boas. With my current collection of Nuclear and Dodoma animals with snow recessive traits, there is great potential. Lets pair the Nuclear DH Snow to the normal. The nuclear is inherited the same way skin color would be, so all the babies would be "25% nuclear", because in order for him to be het snow, he would have to be paired with a non nuclear snow, which makes him 50%. Some would be brighter than others. The het to no het would make all of the babies 50% het albino, and 50% het anery. Many breeders would write this as 50% het snow, but thats really not the case. There would only really be a 25% chance that the baby would be het for both albino and anery, since you'd have to beat the 50% odds twice. So every baby would be a Nuclear Cross 25% het Snow. If i paired the snow dodoma cross, to the normal, every baby would be 12.5% Dodoma het Snow. This is because the male is the grandson of a pure dodoma or 100% dodoma, and his father was 50%. That makes him 25% dodoma, and his offspring 12.5. The babies would still look very nice, however, as his ancestors were paired with very nice animals. If the two Snow Dodoma Crosses were paired the babies would all be 25% Snow Dodoma crosses, just as their parents are. The most exciting pairing comes from the Nuclear DH Snow male to the Snow Dodoma Cross female. There are four possible phenotypes that could be produced by the litter, all including Nuclear and Dodoma. The combination is referred to as a Nuclear Meltdown, but because there isn't much Dodoma blood I would call it a Nuclear Meltdown Cross. So there would be NMD 100% het Snow, Anery NMD 100% het albino, Albino NMD 100% het anery (what I'm looking forward to the most), and finally Snow NMD. Definitely excited for the future!
