I guess I'm just really interested in the mechanism behind the banana gene.

I'm not sure if i'm misunderstanding you about the results of a burm x ball being nearly impossible but it is far from it. Its been done over and over and the hybrid offsping have even been bred to other burmballs to produce offspring. I apologize if i'm misunderstanding your statements.

I'm currently working on learning and understanding reptile genomics at university (as a personal research and once i get a basis possibly go for a grant and research opportunity) and want to try to figure this thing out.
