Granite Question

Hey everyone,

I know alot of people list the genetic granites as being a dominant morph. I also noticed that Ralph Davis appears to have produced a super granite. So I was wondering is it just that most people dont bother to try to prove that the granites have a super form, or is it that different lines have different forms of inheritance? Thanx!

In my opinion this is the issue. The whole granite thing is in need an overhaul.
For quite some time a bunch of snakes have been lumped together as granites. I think it will take some time to see which ones are genetic, which animals have "super" forms, and which ones need a "name change".
To me at least a couple lines of the homozygous "granites" look different. I suspect will see more differences as it all gets sorted out.
I have three different animals that I refer to as granites. Two were imported animals and I have very little knowledge on their pattern of inheritance. One is a genetic granite. Years ago, I would have cruised over all three and said..."Granite, granite, granite." Now I am not so sure. Subtle things make me think that I might have two or three different things going on. :confuzd:
Time will tell.
