I have a basic understanding of genetics but I'd like to learn more about the inheritance of colour in ball pythons. Is the morph determined by multiple genes? For example to produce a bumblebee butter - as a bumblebee is a combination of spider and pastel (one parents genetics) and the butter is the other parent, then how can any offspring inherit all three genes from the parents to become a bumblebee butter? And then, if spider is the dominant gene, why aren't the offspring only spiders?
