Is two supers in one morph really possible?
Hi all, I am just wondering about producing a Super (morph) super (morph). I know on the world of ball there is the super pastel super sulfur which was only produced this year (2015) Are these just really rare to produce and how can you really tell? How would I go about making a Super Super?
Are there any other morphs with two supers in it?
Thank you.

it can be hard to produce as the most common way would be a 1 in 16 shot. take for example a pastel phantom x pastel phantom. you would have a 1 in 16 shot at producing a super pastel super phantom. there have been quite a few double supers produced though. super cinni super pastel, super black pastel super pastel, red axanthic super pastel, and many many more

Okay, thank you for your reply. You have only mentioned super pastels with other morphs and my example included. Do you know any that have been made without a pastel?

I don't know off the top of my head what's been done without super pastel to produce a "double-super," as I'll call it. However, it can certainly be done. Any two co-dominant genes bred together create a super form. For instance, there is a super enchi, super lesser, super mojave, and many many more. Pastel is the most common super form that you'll see simply because of price point for those particular animals due to how long the morph has been in existence as available on the market. Making sense yet? Google World of Ball Pythons and check out the morph list. It should help you out.

Just a little more information from my knowledge. You cannot get (p.ex.) Super phantom Super lesser or Super fire Super sulfur combos, cause Double supers cannot be in the same locus (complexes). Like this we have less possibilities.
I believe the Super pastels are not cause of the price. If you hit a Super Mojave Super Enchi, with that probably you get an almost white, blue eyed ball ( similar sight as Enchi Super Mojave). With Super pastels you can make more visual difference, example Super pastel Super Enchi.

This times infinity!!!
The bastardization of genetic terms in this hobby drives me crazy some times. Then I hate myself even more for using those terms... :rolleyes:

is it because people look at you weird when you call them homo genes?

I'm with Blue Apple Herps. It drives me nuts when someone writes that there is no such thing as a het pastel.
