    27 eggs, all pinstripe, never one normal. chances of a heterozygous animal doing that are over 1 in 100 million. I never asked him what he did with the male. I know he has some possible super pin females he showed me, obviously they are going to take quite a bit longer to prove out.
    I suppose I just figured it went without saying. For the purpose of ball pythons I just use dominant since the super form either doesnt exist, is lethal and dies in the egg, or it looks exactly the same as the het form. For the purpose of talking about ball morphs I dont find it necessary to use the technically correct genetic terminology. Im familiar with genetics but this isnt science class. On the other hand though, I smell what your cookin. Thanks
