Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

jmp745-
The limited research that I've done on dominant genes has yielded that a dominant to dominant gene pairing will produce animals all showing the dominant trait. Attached is a picture of a punnett square showing this cross (picture taken from the website of New England Reptile Distributors). If you find other info contrary to this, please let me know.
I'm curious, Ed- who else has consistently produced recessive leathers?

actually on http://www.worldofballpythons.com genetic wizard if you put spider to spider you get 75% spider and 25% regular. So I might be right. We dont really have simple dominant traits for beardies, so maybe some snake guys could shed some light on what happens if there is no super dunner.

That is very interesting- now that you mention it, I do remember listening to an interview with Brian Barcyk where he discussed all dominant traits really being co-dominant. Instead of there being a "super" form that was phenotypically different, it appeared the same as any other dominant form, but produced as a "super" form would. For example- breeding two dunners together. 25% normal scaled, 50% dunner, and 25% "super" dunner. The "super" dunners would produce as a silkback would compared to a leatherback. So when breeding the "super" dunner to a normal-scaled animal you would get 100% dunners instead of only 50%. You would have to hold back a large amount of the clutch to prove it out, but it's definitely an interesting thought.
