    Discussions like this in an open forum is horrible to our hobby. We already use enough wrong terms. Why give other people wrong or missguided information to make it worse? Most people think that ball python males are "breedable" because they are producing "sperm pluggs". Ball pythons DO NOT produce sperm pluggs. Those hemipene sheds are not pluggs. If ball pythons produced sperm pluggs you could NOT have multiple fathered clutches.
    Incomplete dominance occurs when the phenotype of the heterozygous genotype is distinct from and often intermediate to the phenotypes of the homozygous genotypes. (took that from good ol' wikipedia)

    How does what is going on in het Pieds, het Clowns etc... NOT meet this definition?

    How on earth is a discussion about ANYTHING where we examine our thought process "horrible to our hobby" that is possibly the most closed-minded statement I have heard in some time, I am currently in a land full of religious extremists.

    If YOU choose not to entertain other thought processes on how the genetics of the Ball Python may actually be behaving, that is fine. But to come here and say we are damaging the hobby with our discussion is ridiculous.

    Also, I will agree we use technically incorrect terms a lot, but this thread is not talking about that. You are trying to lump in all of that to this conversation, and I fail to see how it applies.
