Sable vs Chocolate

According to NERDs site under available animals, these are the "same." Never really thought about it but I guess it would be equivalent to Mojo Lesser Butter being similar.

Anyone ever heard of this?

According to Kevin McCurley's book the Super Chocolate is a striped brown snake. But it says the het Chocolate is still being kept a secret.

And the super sable is just an even darker version of the sable.

AFAIK they are different alleles and the outcomes are completely different in regards to the Homozygous snake.

Chocolate is the Het form or the co-dom and the Super is the homo form or the dominate.

Also Kevin McCurley is the owner of Nerd and the author of 'The Complete Ball Python'. He lists in his book that they are different, but his site claims they are the same?

I think he means the hypermelanism in both will alter combos the same.

right i understand that, but he said het for chocolate, not super chocolate

Well I dont see where it is listed as being the same on the site that ad that you linked us to while is obviously on the NERD site is not being sold by NERD. Look at the user name "evilmorphgod"

And I was referring to the Heterozygous form. No matter if its recessive or co-dom, there is still a Heterozygous form and a Homozygous form. One is visual the other is not.

I said Het Chocolate, not Het for Chocolate.

Anyway, I know what I wrote. :P
