Stupid only being allowed to edit after a short time.

Anyway, if you trace the Butter Female's paternal genetics back and prove him back to pre-2000 without having the Daddy involved then you can prove (without any doubt) that it isn't recessive.

However in a clutch that has a non-daddy non-lesser snake and a daddy snake then you know that these cannot be alleles. As has been proven.

Don't let the genetics confuse you, this is all fairly simple and there are ways to prove one way or another. I still stand that there is a good chance her father was a het daddy and it's recessive, but I'm not going to hold on to it for dear life if someone brings proof that a snake with no genetic relation to the daddy gave birth to a daddy, that would entirely disprove it being recessive. However I will maintain that it is not an allele as current evidence shows otherwise, unless of course that isn't a butter and is a lesser
