Q:
|
Cornsnake Genetics? (Okeetee x Hypo Bloodred)
|
|
Ok, So In the next few years I want to begin breeding Corn snakes as a hobby and pastime. I love the species and have done a lot of reading and research on Brumation, Ovulation, proper feeding, Gravid females, etc. My Question simply lies in the Genetics which can be extremely difficult to begin with. I have a Hypo Bloodred Female and an Okeetee male. I know his Genotype is normal, but I am curious if anyone knows a good place to look up these lineages or if anyone knows what the youngs genes will be. I think most will be a normal okeetee het for hypo and bloodred but would love an experienced breeders opinion and suggestions! Thanks a million!

the offspring might have an okeetee appearance but to my understanding they will not be true okeetees, because that is a locality, in order to make more both parents have to be pure okeetees...

Most Okeetees you see these days are line bred, not really locality specific. Okeetee is not a specific mutation like bloodred or amelanistic. I believe that if you bred an Okeetee with a bloodred all the babies would be het bloodred and some would have Okeetee traits. Some would be normal but het Okeetee. If you bred a bloodred to a bloodred then all the babies would be blood red. If you bred your Okeetee to another Okeetee, then most of the babies would probably look Okeeteeish.

No such thing as a het Okeetee. BUT, if ya wanna breed Okeetees, its a good excuse to buy another Okeetee corn!

haha, it's ok john, I know the Okeetee is just a normal corn from a specific region and I also know the characteristics of a true Abbotts Okeetee is different from the watered down lineage people sell now as okeetee. I was just curious in the breeding and genetics. I agree though, I figure the babies will be mostly okeetee like het. for bloodred. I would love to breed just bloodreds, unfortunetaly until I have a place of my own my snake purchases are at a minimum. It may be a few years before I can begin any breeding. Is it bad to keep a male and female together if they have been brought up together??

Yes, what Nate said.
I would imagine that Nate is an expert at "unwanted breeding". LOL
