Incomplete dominant (co-dom in the bp world) has 3 different phenotypes. Back to the lesser

2x Normal = Normal
Normal and Lesser = Lesser
2x Lesser = BEL

So looking at this information it is quite obvious that lesser does not dominant over the normal allele, because when the normal allele is not present the phenotype changes. The lesser we identify is the combination of the lesser and normal allele, its not JUST the lesser allele, as that would be a white snake with blue eyes. Incomplete dominance. not dominant.

Now for lesser mojave, we are not comparing them to normal, just each other.

2x Lesser = white snake
Lesser and Mojave = white snake
2x Mojave = grey head

So we have the same phenotype with Homozygous Lesser and Lesser/Mojave, The Mojave gene has no baring on the phenotype. Thus Lesser dominants over Mojave. This in no way effect their relationship with normal, which is incomplete dominance for both

So that how I came to that conclusion, I suggest you refresh on your classifications, what you are spreading is just misinformation.
Sorry but you are the one spreading misinformation. Technically speaking the wild type phenotype is considered Dominant. Both the het and homo look the same. Co doms, in all living things, do not have 3 phenotypes.

You need only one dominant allele to express a dominant trait. Lesser is dominant to normal, or it could be that normal is dominant to lesser. Either way. If you breed a lesser to a normal you are going to get lessers and normals. If the hatchling gets one lesser allele from one parent and another normal allele from the other parent, that baby is going to be a lesser. The lesser allele is dominant over the normal allele. Simple fact.

Your theory on lesser and mojave is also incorrect.
