high yellow?

hey just a question about normals and how some have a lot of yellow on there backs and some have just the brown. is there a difference? is it some type of morph thats so scuttle that we group it with the normals?

Normals just have a ton of variation. Until you breed it out and prove it is genetic, it is just a normal color phase.

Nothing special about them unless they are hets and you can prove it. And the only way to do that is to breed it. =)

High yellow normals can produce more high yellow normals, which in my opinion is a gene in itself. Much rather a high yellow normal than a dark brown one personally. ~Caylan.S.~

Yes, if you breed a Yellow Normal and a Normal you would get a 50% chance of one of those eggs being a Yellow Normal. And I believe would make one of the Normal baby's a het Yellow Normal. But if the Mom and Dad were Yellow Normals you would have a 100% chance of one of the eggs being a Yellow Normal. Correct me if I wrong on this.

Also assume Yellow Normal is a morph.

Yellow normal is not a morph. It is just a characteristic of some normals. Similarly to how a reduced pattern can sometimes produce reduced pattern babies. But it is not really co dominant, dominant or recessive.

I understand its not a Morph but wouldn't it still have the same characteristics of one and have its own specific gene?

no, it wouldn't work like a codominant, dominant, or recessive gene.

Alright, I thought it would.

so than how would it be describe and carried through to others?

Kinda more like a pastel boa, just a selectively bred trait that may show up in the offspring. Much higher chance of getting a yellow normal when breeding a yellow normal. Of course this may not always be the case, and I've seen some nice normals come out of rather ordinary parents. It's more or less random, but it can be worked with to an extant I think. I plan on trying it myslef anyway. ~Caylan.S.~
