Op. Nice snake! I just don't understand/trust the whole granite thing.
I ...think that I have it down. You will all have to give me a wide berth for error, since I am not a pro on genetics..

But I am thinking that, like a granite-appearing normal.. the granite would have to be proven to be official. Kind of like "look, my snake is a morph!" because someone bought it at Petco and it has some granite-like markings. So, the snake, even if it did look granitey, would still have no claim to actually Being a granite, since it was not proven out. Just like the "reduced" description. These are descriptive, not necessarily indicating that this snake would produce granite or reduced offspring. I am still not too happy at the granite description, because everyone has made me see where it is not necessarily there in my snake. So you either have watched me learn a lesson in descriptive (or re-learn; these were some facts that I knew about years ago on the forum, but am re-learning after years out of the hobby) or I am appearing less intelligent than I was in the first place.
