Freaking out!! Fire to Normal makes white snake?!!

[asplundii]

Can the null phenomenon happen with just the male genes contributing? Most parthenogenesis involves the female genes.

"Null" phenomenon and parthenogenesis are wholly unrelated and have nothing to do with one another.

Yea, she must carry something compatible with fire.

No necessarily

Isn't the lemonback the same allele?

Yes, it is. But it is not at all a subtle morph that could ever be mistaken for a WT

I am sure there are others

Obviously there are: Disco and Vanilla and RDR DesertLemon and Sulphur and Flame Hypo and Lucifer and Eraserhead and... But here is the thing, there is an absolute trend line these morphs follow and the more normal they look the less they react with Fire. So if that female is some type of "cryptic" BlkEL allele then she would not produce a white snake when bred to a Fire.

I can't wait to see what happens when you eventually breed that white baby.

Fires and normals
