Can a morph parent influence normals to look different but not completely a morph??

[NathanV]

i was wondering this because one of my normal females looks well beyond normal, almost fire like but without a clear belly and pure black eyes, unusual for a light snake

bump!!

Any number of things can influence looks. Just look at the variety of normals. Sure morphs can contribute to the look w/o actually passing on the single gene for whatever morph it is. But so can normals also influence the looks as well.

[Watever]

Every living creature have lot of gene.

What we can a morph is something genetic specify that influence the color or pattern totally different than what the wild type is.

But take the humans, some have blue, brown eyes or blond or black hair. These could be designed as "morph" in certain way.
But what about the unibrown ? It does change from one person to another, sometimes it look like one of the parents. There are different gene here.

Selective breeding is exactly that, trying to select the parents to create someone better than both parents. Why are some pastels more yellow than others ? Probably due to selective breeding... a lighter female somewhere may be ?

As was stated before there are various genes in the snake, some of these genes may be passed that will affect the overall look of the snake, while lacking the gene to make it a certain morph. Imagine breeding two snakes which have fairly reduced paterns, but both are pastels, then the offspring comes out fairly reduced as well.

Or a busy patern pastel breeding and having busy pattern offspring that are normals.

I don't see why they wouldn't. Check out this female I got from Robin (rabernet). She's a normal sibling to pastels. She's a got a fantastic orange glow to her. She's a year old in the pictures and over 600 grams. I'm really excited to breed her to my pastel, the pastel babies should be nice and bright yellow!




Her next to my post het male, he's super dark, but you can really see her colors.

They're both looking awesome, Stephanie!

They're both looking awesome, Stephanie!

Thank you Robin!!! They are both so beautiful! It's so strange that this girl picked up so much more orange than her sister!
