Co-dominant vs Recessive Traits

Stephanie, I'm a little late to the party but a question. It seems most of your discussion pertained to ball pythons (haven't read your linked article yet) but could you refer me to any links pertaining to hognose snakes and this subject? Trying to rap my head around the whole anaconda/super thing before I dive in and set up my colony. Thanks!

Hi Steve, I'm afraid I don't have anything specifically pertinent to Hognose to point you to, but my article is a general explanation of genetics in reptiles. I did cite examples for both Ball Pythons and Cornsnakes in it. The Anaconda Hognose would be a co-dominant mutation (actually a great example of one, I will have to add that to my article).

Thanks Stephanie, I appreciate you getting back to me so quickly. See you around

Regardless of Recessive, Dominant or Incomplete Dominant (aka Co-Dom), I suggest you use and think in terms of het (heterozygous) or homo (homozygous).

A “Super Pastel” is simply a Homo Pastel… and a “Pastel” is actually Het Pastel…

Hobby terms (i.e. ‘super’) often sound cool, but add more confusion than they help anything…
