The Most Useful Codominant Or Dominant Genes

[artist&writer]

I am asking forum members what they think the most useful genes they use in their breeding programs are. For me, it is the yellowbelly gene.

Hmmm probably Mojave for me.

Mojo, followed by Leo, then OD.

Number one in my book would be Pastel. It enhances everything with various shades of yellow and jumbles up the patterns.

I predict number two will be Het Scaleless head and the Super Scaleless. It's still early in the game for scaleless but I bet within 5-6 years it will outshine Pastel and can be mixed with any genes to make colors and patterns 'pop' without the scales getting in the way. That's assuming there's no unforeseen problems with the morph which is possible since it's only been in the game for a short while (i.e., health issues, kinking in the super, viability, sterility, ect..). Kind of reminds me of the Desert craze before we found out the females were all sterile. I'm not sure anyone has worked with the supers enough to know for sure one way or another.

I’m still learning as much as I can about the potential combos when paired with a banana. I really like the desert ghost het clown....I just don’t know what other combos I can think of that would really make beautiful babies, any suggestions?

Yellow Belly is without a doubt the most versatile gene there is. I have a few and am blessed when I get more. I have the following
Breeders
0.1 Pastel YB
0.1 Super Pastel YB
1.0 Cinnamon YB (Hoping to Prove Gravel)

Juvies
1.2 Yellow Belly (2 pretty sure are Gravel)
0.1 Hypo Spider Yellow Belly
1.0 Yellow Belly het Ultramel

And I am sure that I will have more coming or holding back.

For me, mojave, banana, pinstripe, lesser, leopard.

If I could only do one project it would be panda pieds, so the most useful codom gene for me is cinnamon/black pastel. I've got to admit I'm pretty partial to both though, no matter what the pairing. They make gorgous codom combos and look amazing as single gene animals too.

My top 2 Leopard and Enchi in that order

From what I've seen in my short time in the scene enchi is probably the most underrated gene. The enhancing, cleaning and reducing it does it amazing. It's super form is like double the brilliance too which can't be said for a lot of the genes... they either make a white snake or an overly dark snake.

Leopard, spotnose both great pattern changers that add contract and clean up certain combos.

OD is brilliant. Especially with the brightening and cleaning genes. Some people love lesser... it's what makes the hobby and scene so much fun. Horses for courses and endless possibilities.
