    Getting morphs..

    So how does a co-dominant trait come out? Is it just luck if the draw? Is it the snake with the least pattern bred with the snake with the least pattern again gets you a co-dominant trait?

    I may not be making any sense but I'm just trying to figure out if there's any way to breed for a lesser or breed any snakes together to get a different co-Dom trait..

    Re: Getting morphs..

    Most new morphs came from the wild, and were bred and found to be co-dom, dom, or recessive. However, sometimes you can breed a normal, and have something abnormal appear, it is very rare, and usually not a morph. Sometimes though, you can try to breed them back to the parents, and see if it is a morph or not.

    However, you cannot "Breed for a lesser"...You have to have a lesser to start with, which is what I think you were asking?

    Hope this helps.

    Morphs are found in the wild and brought over here. A breeder will breed it to a normal to see if they can make more of that morph then breed it to its parents to see if it has a super(co-dom) form. If it does not produce a super than it is dominant. If bred to a normal and the offspring are all normal then it is a recessive morph and all offspring would be hets! You will need a morph or a pair of hets to make a morph!
