BEL combo's questions

I have tried to search this and can't find it. I know if you make BEL out of the same co-dom genes the least you will get next breeding is that co-dom gene. If you breed a mojave and butter or so on and get the BEL what would there be a dominant co-dom gene or would you just get mojave and butter influance in the other pairing? If paired with a pastel would you have the chance to get both pastave's and pastel butters or just one or the other? My 12 year old son asked me this and it stumped me.

Hi,

If you bred a butter/mojave BEL to a pastel you could get butters, mojaves, pastel butters and pastaves. :)

That's the answer I was looking for. I just wasn't 100% sure. I now have to get a few butters and lessers to better the odds for future breeding with my future BEL's. Thank You Dr. Del

Ok Dr Del am I thinking this correctly? If a Lesser Mojave BEL was bred to a Mojave, you would get Lessers and Mojaves and possibly BELs and Super Mojaves. Yes?

That's right. And I'm almost positive you'd get all bels and super mojaves

Really? I could understand getting all BELs and Supers if both parents were Lesser Mojave BELs but with one parent being a single gene carrier, I'm curious as to your thinking.
Thanks

TMurphy you are correct. The lesser/mojave could only throw a lesser or mojave gene to its offspring, but the mojave could potentially throw a wild-type allele on that locus, producing heterozygous-normal lessers or mojaves.

The World of Ball Pythons genetic wizard does not account for lesser and mojave being allelic, and gets it wrong; however the user OWAL on this forum made a genetic calculator that gets it right:
