Is there a way to breed pink and black cons through generations to produce marbled cons? I haven t seen any marbled cons here. And there are very few pink cons.

I saw a female pink con at my lfs and was debating wether or not I should buy it for my black con to start my own marbled line.

If you bred black too pink you will get 100% black. If the black is heterozygous for pink you will get a 50/50 split.
 
its takes allot more genetically than that

my black pair throw about 30% pink with each group..a few of them that i have grown out have pots of black here and there but its rare and no where near the calico mark.

Whats not true?

Your blacks probably both have the pink gene, or are heterozygous for pink. So you would get around 75% black and 25% pink, which is what your seeing.
