I'm not sure what you mean by this.

Simple Mendelian genetics state that dominant x dominant would give you a chance at a both a heterozygous genotype and a homozygous genotype. The phenotype would be the same yes, (they would look the same, so there's no way you can tell which is which unless you prove it out).

So, if what you're trying to say is that Pinstripe is not a proven dominant gene, then okay. I mean - it's highly unlikely, because, c'mon, the pinstripes have been discovered what, 2002, 2003? I'm fairly certain you'd know of a super-form by now if it was indeed co-dom instead of dominant.

But, if what you're saying is - there's no homozygous form because nobody produced one... well, I don't know how you can say that when all other ball pythons follow simple Mendelian genetics. Unless you want to claim pinstripes are abnormal in that regard?

So, not sure how to take your post...
