The ball python complex

[kevinb]

Being in a complex has absolutely nothing to do with what the snake looks like. It means the gene sits on the same locus as another gene. breed a lesser/mojave to a normal, you get lessers and mojaves. breed a mystic potion to a normal, you get mystics and mojaves. never normals or recreations of itself. Butter, Mojave, Russo Het Leucistic, Phantom, Mystic, Lesser Platinum, Mocha, Special, Daddy Gene all sit on the same locus.

This is why you cannot have a lesser/mojave/mystic all in one snake, there only two places to sit on each locus.

you can call the complexes w/e you want.... the name has nothing to do with whats going on.

Thanks for clearing that up. I just feel they should be on a complex of there own as no lucy comes from them?


Ooooooopppsss, nevermind figured it out myself. But let me relay it for sure. Phantom/mystic are in the bel complex because mojave is and when paired with phantom/mystics they create the potions and passions which when bred to anything will throw off one gene or the other no matter what....no normals. Correct?

When bred to a lesser, phantoms at least will produce a BEL. There's no reason a mystic wouldn't, as well, or that it has to be a lesser. Butter would probably do the same. (Although when put to a Russo, they create an opal diamond, which is all kinds of awesome.)
