multi gene mystery~!

So I ordered a multi-gene male from Matt Lerer of GHI reptiles, he is the founder of the GHI morph. He bred a female to two different males, and one of the babies is so weird, he couldn't even identify it himself, and sold it to me for a great bargain imo!!!!
The 2 possible sires are A) 1.0 super pastel super GHI lemonback, OR B)1.0 Pastel GHI Het red Axanthic.
the dame was a 0.1 GHI Pastel Lesser.

I asked Matt, the breeder and founder of the GHI morph, and he just said, "I couldn't tell you, I just know there are a lot of genes in there, could be almost anything!" He didn't even venture a guess, (as I think he doesn't want me (the buyer) to hold him to it.).
I told him my guess is a 1.0 Super GHI Lesser pastel lemonback.

Any one have an idea or guess?

I have no idea at all (unhelpful, I know) but what a beautiful snake!

Same here.

Dang that is one nice pickup! Couldnt really help you with morph but he will certainly put out a lot of interesting offspring when hes large enough to breed. Exciting!!

I think the best way to identify the exact genes would be to breed him to a normal. Is that correct?

It is certainly the recommended way - I know it does seem like "wasting" a season but it should give you most of the answers for the following seasons.

well, it won’t be a waste if I breed him to 3-4 females, as the normal will be the indentifier dame, and the other morphs will make it interesting.

He has arrived. My best guess still: Super GHI Lesser Pastel Lemonback... https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...M/IMG-2992.jpg

What a beautiful boy! Just wow!

uuugggghhhhh a GHI is a definite upcoming addition...and you're not helping!!!

i guess at least Super GHI Pastel Lesser, but there's definitely more going on. if you're not right you're at least close.

Handsome fella! Congratulations on the new addition.

a Sulfur Ghi Lesser that looks very similar to your snake.

If you have a visual recessive female laying around, I would use that in place of a normal. Then at least all the babies are het for whatever, and you can still figure out what genes may be present.
