    Desert dominant? Co dominant? un proven co dominant?

    Does the Desert gene fall into the same column as the Spider and Pinstripe genes?
    Does the Super Desert resemble a regular Desert but produce 100% Deserts when bred to a Normal?
    Is the Super Desert a gene that causes the snake to not survive?
    or has no one tried to make a Super Desert?
    thanks

    According to this thread here:

    http://reptileradio.net/reptileradio...ad.php?t=15598

    The desert x desert (needed to prove out a "super") was tried, but the desert female was too small and got eggbound. So, it has not yet been proven one way or the other.

    The Desert females take a lot longer, to get big enough, to successfully reproduce than most other female ball pythons.

    Well maybe not a lot longer, but longer than most.

    Guess it has a metabilism morph in it too.. lol.. Rumors that spiders are the other way around.. so maybe get a desert spider female and get it up to size in normal time.
