    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Can somebody give me anything on this. Is it recessive, dominant, co-dominant. The world of ball pythons stated dominant but somebody was selling a yellowbelly het for highway. Please help with any info.

Thank you
 
here is a dumbed down answer

the highway is a combo of the yellow belly gene and the gravel gene (which is very similar to a yellowbelly in appearance). the gravel is related to the yellowbelly like a mojave to a lesser.

a yellowbelly can not be het for highway unless it is the visual highway. they are not recessive. and honestly it has been so long since i worried about terminology that i can not remember if the gravel is codom or incomplete dom.
 
the super gravel is almost identical to the highway. i doubt many people could tell them apart if 3 or 4 were placed together.

no single gene gravels have been sold (on purpose anyway) to my knowledge. they are very, very similar to a yellowbelly in appearance. bolder belly markings without as much flaming.
