Normal Appearing Sibs of Doms Bred to Doms

[wilomn]

Have any of you bred snakes that appeared normal and had siblings that expressed a trait, Mojo, Pastel, any triat that leaves some babies looking normal and others expressing, to a partner who had the same trait in the clutch of the normal appearing part of the pair.

For example: a normal looking snake that had pastel siblings back to an unrelated pastel. Did the babies you got look unusual or average.

I have no reason for asking other than the pleasure of curiousity satisfied, which satisfaction brought the cat back, for those in the know.

I have wondered at it but never discussed it before.

Thanks.

I would assume there would be no difference in appearance unless there is some kind of hidden gene (Platinums are like this, right?)

I hope that I am understanding your question. 2008 Was our first year breeding so my pool is limited to 10 clutches with 9 involving a Co-dom/dom. to either another co-dom or a normal. All unrelated and some clutches had multiple fathers. Out of all the "normals" produced i had quite a few that looked quite different from the typical normals. Some produced by the same father but from different mothers. Maybe they just got more of dads genetics but not the mutation. I have held the best of the unusual 'normals' back to see if there maybe something, but not holding my breath. Hope that's what you where looking for. Jeff

You're right on the track of what I'm asking about.

When you breed those normals that didn't look quite normals back to the morph that one parent was, those babies will then look....?

Although with multiple fathers it won't really work because I am looking for specifically breeding back to a morph one parent or the other had for sure, not a maybe as would be the case with multiple fathers.

I may have finally gotten the ball-bug.
