Co-dom

ooooo ... ok, what was his parents?

I am still figuring out all this Co, Dom, Recessive, allelic, his offspring,when you mate him, he will "recreate himself" is that only withanother Bamboo, or is that only with recessive morphs?

I guess sense you said your looking to get 15-20 Bamboo from him i was justcurious as to who you would mate him to in order to get more Bamboo? will therebe Hets? - i guess im curious cause i don’t see het bamboo anywhere lol.

Co-Dominant or “CoDom” is the slang used in the world of reptile keepers for the correct genetic term Incomplete Dominance. This describes a “visual” heterozygous animal that is different looking from the “Normal” phenotype. In other words, the “het” looks different than a Normal, in contrast to Recessive morphs, where the “hets” do look Normal. A Pastel Jungle does NOT look like a Normal Ball Python, although it is only carrying one copy of the Pastel gene.
In a way, a Pastel Jungle can be thought of as “visual het” for Super Pastel. The heterozygous Incomplete Dominant animal can be thought of as half expressing the gene. In the snake world, the complete - homozygous - expression of an Incomplete Dominant gene is known as a “Super.” Put another way, the hets the look different from a Normal, but when bred back to another het and “doubled up,” they can produces an even more extreme version of themselves which we call the “Super form.” The visual effect that the gene has on the snake may be pattern, color or both.
In theory, when an Incomplete Dominant animal is bred to a Normal, the resulting clutch should consist of 50% snakes with the visual phenotype (Incomplete Dominant gene carriers) and 50% non-gene carrying, Normal snakes. (This is only statistics; sometimes, your luck is lousy and you can get all Normals!) If the gene is bred back to itself and fails to yield a more extreme version of itself, it is known as Dominant.

Awesome read.. and thanks for the link... lol...

I do appreciate the insight. I was slightly familiar with some material… About 10% lol… I guess the “what” these animals can do, is still to be determined as I am learning... someone has a world's first every week in IG and I am just like “sacless” blew my mind, now “micro scale” (NERD)?
Ugh what’s next...this is what is so interesting about the hobby and what I love most... I know this takes some trial and error, along with patients and a lot of time to burn as well as money. In the end when you've, proved out, or produce your dream animal, or even a world's first, it will be worth it.


I am looking at squaring away my projects now so I can have an idea of what I am to be looking forward to. I just love to read about genes and what people are trying to mix up in their labs...what they produce… when my collection grows I’m going to b on here every day with a update or a question...

I’m just glade you’ll like to pass along your valued knowledge and for this I (WE) thank you

Very handsome bamboo, looks like his enjoying a nice bath but than again who doesn't.

i love Bamboo. it looks like the end goal of a couple different morphs/genes and they just have that Ghost/Hypo glow to them.

congrats! that's one good lookin' boy!

Thanks, my thoughts exactly. He looks like the end goal, without any need to mix in more genes! Just

That's awesome. I'd like to see a bamboo GHI leopard. What are your plans?

I didn't realize had the high white on the sides like that. Almost spider-esque.
