im just learning about all of this soooooo

Can someone maybe make a chart of what can make what?

Like I think I understand what a super is (a super albino thats bred with a normal will give birth to all albinos right?) and if so how can you tell which snake is a super?

A super is the result of two co-doms of the same kind being bred together eg. pastel x pastel = super pastel. Albino is a recessive trait and therefore has no "super". :D

ok so a super pastel thats bred with a normal will give birth to all pastels?

I dont think so but I'm not completely sure. www.newenglandreptile.com has an explanation on all the types of genes.

thanks, I actually found this which was somewhat helpful too

right!

Any true super form will result in all co-dom morphs when bred to a normal or any recessive animals for that matter.

edit: super forms of snakes look different. Take 2 lessers and breed them together, get a solid white snake for example. In order for a morph to be listed as co-dom it only takes one allele of a certain gene to show a visual mutation and when bred to another co-dom an animal is produced showing both alleles. Sort of confusing, and honestly, that confuses me at nearly 1 AM

no but i think a super pastel bred to a pastel will give you all pastels......you remind me of someone i know;) (that was a joke to all the people that know me since the beginning) a reallly good website that was givin to me when i was asking questions like these is this- http://ballpython.ca/genetics.html

edit: you guys beat me to it:D

We're just fast like that!!:P :rockon:

a super pastel bred to a pastel statistically should yield 50% supers and 50% pastels

ok i think i have somewhat of an understanding about it now haha thanks to every one who posted :]
