That's okay, I'll just come up with more questions lol.

A snake is a "visual" het when a dominant or codominant mutant gene is paired with a normal gene. These snakes do not look normal.

There is no 50% or 66% probability het with codominant mutant genes. You can tell what the snake's genes are just by looking at the snake.

With dominant mutant genes, a snake with two copies of the mutant gene (a super) looks like a snake with a mutant gene paired with a normal gene. In such snakes' matings, the probabilities are generally expressed as the probability of getting a super. The probabilities only apply to the baby snakes that do not look normal. The normal-looking snakes have two copies of the normal gene and are genetically normal.
0% probability super = 100% probability het. Occurs when a visual het or super is mated to a normal.
33% probability super = 66% probability het. Occurs when two visual hets are mated.
50% probability super = 50% probability het. Occurs when a super is mated to a visual het.
100% probability super = 0% probability het. Occurs when two supers are mated.
If this is the case, how come when I run a normal and a banana ball through the calculator it says half will be bananas and half normal. With what you said, shouldn't some be a visual mix of both?
