Hello,

The punnett square can be confusing. Especially when you are dealing with double and sometimes triple het lizards or snakes. When you begin dealing with the probability of inheritance,genotypes and phenotypes,things seem to swirl. lol At least for me. I go by good old percentages. Once you know the basic layouts and probabilities,you can then figure out the rest.
The best thing to know is the terminology. Once you understand how genetics work,you can then apply some simple queries to determine the appearnce of the offspring.
This site has a great listing of the common terms associated with genetics and I believe they also have a description of how the punnett square works.

Here's another chart for double hets. However, I don't really know how you would get a triple het. Rich?

Rich, if you know, what would a genotype ba end up looking like? Where b = recessive blizzard and a = recessive albino. Would it be an albino blizzard? $$$$$
