I have one request. If you are going to do this paper (and the larger BP industry) any justice, don't take the same path that whoever jacked up proper genetics terminology did when they first described BP mutations.
For example, use "incomplete dominant" instead of "co-dominant" when speaking about Pastel, Banana, Orange Dream, Enchi, etc. There are no known actual co-dominant mutations in ball pythons. Yet, that term is so ingrained in our hobby lingo I'm not sure it'll ever find its way out. There are other examples as well, but this one should be pretty easy to get right.
Thanks, and good luck!
