Just a thought....................

I posted this just for fun because I know at some point with the amount of multi gene snakes, there is going to be a point where someone will want to prove exactly whats in it. Especially with some of the genes that are so subtle or my favorite with all the "new" claims that just plain look like another morph that already exists.

thats true, and some breeders hang on to a few normals just for that reason. and some breeders like to sometimes add some fresh african genetics to keep the gene pool healthy. but even then, something like 5% normals in the collection should be enough for that.

but if the need arises to prove something out because the genetics are getting too complicated, you could always use something like a super mojave or super pastel to prove it out. or, even better, just breed it to a recessive like an albino or hypo or clown or something, that allows you to sort out the genetics, but as a bonus they will all be 100% het.
