Paragon ball pythons

it should be super expensive :( but at least the one of the Toffee website said they got it to breed this year :) crossing my fingers for what comes out!

even if stuff DOES come out you know they'll charge an arm and a leg for it. :(

how about a spleen and a kidney...i could go without those...

That's not correct. When a bp breeder crosses two recessive morphs and gets normals, then most breeders say that the two lines are incompatible. A geneticist would say that the two recessive mutations complement one another.

Different, but non-conflicting, terminology--->not a problem

However, recessive mutations that complement one another by defination are of different genes! That is they are mutations in non-matching (non-homologous) genes. The normals you get from testing whether two recessive lines are compatible are double hets for two axanthic gene loci.

Only recessive mutations that fail to complement (i.e. rescue the normal phenotype) are mutations of the same gene.

This post may help in explaining it.

Also search for complementation on here and on the net.

Hope that helps.

Holy :cens0r: urban python paid $100,000 for the toffee...there goes all hopes of me ever getting one.

I'm praying to the BP gods that he starts breeding well, and that it's a Co-dom trait! lol

The BP gods have let you down :(

I had contacted them and they said that they have successfully bred it, but it appears to be recessive. They won't know for a couple of years...
