Genetics Masterclass #7 - Next level pairings with Joe Ball and Dr Steve

[@mainman4307]

do you sale them at any point

[@mainman4307]

How much?

[@ScalyFloof]

Great! But what's the point of breeding quadruple hets?

[@bluetongueTV]

For the variation across multiple litters !!!

Are you still exist bro??

Greetings! Before I ask a question I would like to thank you for creating such useful videos which explain genetics so well! I was looking for a place so informative like your channel for quite some time. My questions follow: 1. When breeding a snow with a hypermelanistic blue tongue , you result with all triple hets... Please correct me if I am wrong but the genotype for hypermelasinm is mmAANN whilst snow is MMaann, is it because the gene for albinism and anery is not present in the hypermelanistic animals locus, hence it produces a het animal for both ablinism and anery because of this? (it is like pairing a normal and a recessive trait, produces a normal het recessive trait). 2. Is hypermelanism co-dominant OR recessive? Whats the differance between melanistic and hypermelanistic please? Ive been told hypermelanistic is reduced brown and black but your ones look very dark, more like melanistic. 3. With normal (simple) genetic pairing (eg x normal) I have heard the two traits will overlap but how do the traits 'join together' with a compound heterozygous/allelic/ALS animal? 4. Is albinism a total lack of ALL pigmentation or total lack of all melanin, whilst is amelanism a full loss of melanism (is an albino ball python actually incorrectly classified, when it should be amelanistic ball python)? THANKYOU!

Thankyou!!! 1.Triple hets are the result of pairing Snow to Hyper Melanistic simply because one is Double Homozygous & the other simply Homozygous & yes none of the traits are present in the others genetic make up. 2.Hyper Melanistics are considered co dominant in many quarters as they have a visual heterozygous form. And could be better described as Melanistic but also many simply describe them as Hyper Melanistic as this is also considered an acceptable description. 3.To this point I havnt found any Allelic traits within Blue Tongue genetics.... I hope to soon however with the two types of apparent albinos that have popped up ie T+ & T- 4.I have often wondered the same thing... Albinism to my knowledge is only the lack of all melanin and is used similarly to describe such reptiles in Australia with Akbino Darwin carpets, Maculosa etc... ie if they are incorrectly classified then it would apply to these animals too including Blue Tongues as all have large amounts of other pigment. Hopefully this makes sense as I wrote it all on my cell phone !!
