Bluey Genetics question...

[Aidan Swanson]

Im fairly new to the whole blue tongue genetics topic and i am just starting to learn by watching Joe Ball's videos...
But i was just wondering what would happen if you pair a 100% het hyper melanistic with a normal eastern bluey...
Also how much on average would a 100% het for melanistic bluey cost at a reptile expo..
Thx in advance for the help!

Can't answer the genetics question, but it'll be a hydrid ( eastern + northern , and likely some will be melanistic I guess ).

Price for a melanistic BTS will be several hundred maybe over a thousand dollars, Last time I casually looked at prices of melanistic BTs was several years ago and I think Snake Farm was asking $2000 per skink . Worth the expense ? I doubt it .
