I am almost certain that, with Boas, there has been examples where genes from both dads were present in offspring. Almost certain. I would have to look it up again to be sure but I thought I remembered a few instances of this. If not, oh well.. mistake! lol
I'm not challenging your biology classes or simple 7th grade class material, lol, just thought I remembered this, which is one reason why I asked.
Again this was just an example for sake of argument, or to challenge conventional thinking. Not a question of ethics, on how one should sell the offspring, as their is no question there.
You'd be surprised how many times something like this is done... but just not talked about so that it is not left to speculation or criticism... not talking about this specific example, but several like it.
One BP breeder talked about running 17 males through to one female.. obvisouly there were some recessive genes in there, but in those cases, for a bigger breeder, whether it might or might not be het for something is really not an issue, and they wouldn't even mention it when selling.. that's one way people stumble on morphs/combos they weren't expecting.
Thanks again and try to have fun!;)
Well. You were mistaken :gj:. No bigs.
I'm still not really sure what your objective here was :P. Strange things have happened. Unexplainable things. Paradoxes and null phenomenon are 2 that stick out in my mind. Why these things happen, nobody knows. It's a nature thing lollll. Doesn't have to make sense. However, the example you're talking about is just not possible in any way. I'm not really a fan of threads created "for the sake of argument." Once you learn more about genetics (not just ball python genetics), then come back and read your own thread, you'll understand. "Experience" isn't necessary in this case... Most people who breed tend to avoid the breeding situation because of all the reasons mentioned previously.
