    Triple CoDom Punnet squares

    I was over on the World of Ball Python's genetic wizard (http://www.worldofballpythons.com/wizard/) trying to figure out what a pairing between my male Killer Bee and female Black Pewter could possibly yield and I'm a little confused with the result.
    This is what it told me:
    Killer bee x Black Pewter
    12.5% Super Pastel/Spider/Black Pastel
    12.5% Killer Bee
    12.5% Pastel/Black Pastel/Spider
    12.5% Bumble bee
    12.5% Super Pastel/Black Pastel
    12.5% Super Pastel
    12.5% Black Pewter
    12.5% Pastel

    Punnet square:
    Normal Black Pastel Pastel Back Pastel/Pastel
    Pastel
    Pastel/Spider

    Is this right? The only thing I don’t understand is where does the normal gene come in on this Punnet square? I figured since the Black Pewter is a double codom there wouldn't be a normal gene there to cause the possibility of a regular pastel coming out of this. Are these % right for this pairing?

    yes those % are correct. Idk what you used for the punnet square figures, but because of the killer bee there would be no normals. The black pewter is going to throw the black pastel or pastel gene or nither, so if the breeding were to a normal there would be the chance of normal offspring. But the killer bee will always throw at least the pastel gene. hope that helps

    This is the Punnet square provided by the wizard. I was trying to figure out why there was a normal gene in the Punnet provided with the % but now I'm guessing its putting that there to account for the fact if the Black Pewter does give a Black Pastel or Pastel gene.
