Dominant or incomplete dominant?????

Okay this site says that butter is dominant and lesser is co dominant! I thought they were the same. SO which is it????

I'm no expert by any means but it is my understanding that butter and lesser are one and the same and also dominant not co-dom

their both co-dom, the description is also wrong lol "Dominant mutation that produces a snake with high blushing in varying shades of yellow and cream. Similar to the Lesser in color, these animals are slightly brighter in color." brighter in color? where the heck did he get this info from?

Both are co-dom..... they act upon the same allele, but are not the same. Very similar like cinnamon and black pastel. Small differences can be seen but (in my opinion) they are mistaken for one another on a regular this is the reason I would never produce a butter x lesser lucy... Identifying offspring would be difficult

show me the differences

Ok sorry for the misinfo but can someone explain the difference between Dom and co-Dom? I'm still fuzzy on that.

Both butter and lesser are Co-dominant, both their supers being BEL (Blue Eyed Leucistic)

co-dom the heterozygous and homozygous form look different, for the lesser, heterozygous is the lesser and BEL is the homozygous

dom means the heterozygous and homozygous look the same, like the pinstripe, het or homo. it looks exactly the same. only difference being the homo. pin will throw all pin offspring, no normals.

Co-Dominant – A visible mutation appears when a single gene at an allele is different than normal. A matched pair of this gene brings about a “super” form that looks different than the single.

Dominant – A visible mutation appears when a single gene at an allele is different than normal. However, there is no known “super” form of the morph.

I just posted a topic on their forum about it. http://ballpythonmorphgallery.com/fo...iewtopic&t=4.0
