hi what would i get if i breed a female 100%het Orange Ghost to a male 100% het Desert Ghost ?

[Aaron_S]

You'd get babies that were 50% hets for both and 50% normals. For example, if you got four eggs, 2 of the babies should carry both genes and two babies won't. If I'm wrong then someone can correct me.

ok so if i breed a female 100%het Orange ghost to a male 100%het Orange ghost i should get all orange ghost?

[Aaron_S]

No. You'd get 25% of the babies will be orange ghost. 50% will be het for orange ghost and 25% of the babies will just be normals.

I'll use the four egg analogy again. Out of the four, if you bred a 100% het orange ghost to 100% het orange ghost you'd get 1 orange ghost and 3 66% het for orange ghost. You say 66% because until you breed the other snakes you don't know which is the normal and which are the hets, since they look the same.

Sorry to correct you, but...
That original pairing would give you these odds...
25% DH orange/desert ghost
25% het orange ghost
25% het desert ghost
25% normal

You don't need to apologize. I asked if someone else knew to correct me.

Not sure if they are compatible?? Hard to say the desert is still somewhat new. Hard to say I would have to agree with Steven forsure.
