Platty daddy's ?...

Any combos with platy daddy or am I missing something here?

The only one who would have combos at this point would be Ralph Davis, I believe the first platty daddies produced outside of Ralph's place happened last year or the year before.

I remember Kevin McCurley talking in an interview about a reaction between the hidden gene Woma and a Platty Daddy direct lesser offspring that was carrying the Daddy gene that created the first soul sucker.

soul sucker huh... thats a nice looking snake, do you really think platty's in it?

According to this You Tube video, he says it does,

That just made me come up with alot more questions lol

I don't think the soul sucker involves the platty daddy gene. From everything that I've read about the way it works, lessers can not carry the hidden gene. When you breed a platty daddy to a normal, you get lessers and het daddies. When you combine the lesser with the het daddy gene you end up with platty daddies.

I've emailed both rdr and nerd asking to clear this up, neither of them ever got back to me

Chad Hulker produced some this past season.

Ralph had said what I repeated in my last post multiple times. He's always been good about getting back to me when I emailed him, but sometimes it takes a day or two... he does run a construction company after all.

Here's another thread with some good information in it.

Think of the platty daddy in the same way superstripes work. The genes are allelic, which means they work together to create a 'super' form. That super form can not reproduce itself when bred to a normal, it can only pass on one of those two genes.

That's a good way of explaining it right there.
