Super Coral Glow - male or female maker?

[kxr]

I'm still an undergrad at West Chester University. All of my current research is independent on my free time. I wish they offered a specialty degree in that area. Besides taking concentrated courses in those areas i can only get a general bio degree with a limited amount of specialties. Most of the profs here work with other animals, such as snails and mammals.

I thought you were talking about crossing the two to see if the ball had opposite sex gametes. My bad. Following the normal patterns it would have normal ratios.

WW is very rare in snakes. As far as Ive seen it has only resulted from parthenogenesis.

With the small amount of research that has been conducted on reptile genomics I look forward to hopefully opening up new doors.

No, you were right, but you said in your previous post if you bred a male burm to a het female ball it would produce ZZ phenotype babies. I guess I should have assumed you meant to say a homo female ball python.

Yeah, you would get ZZ offspring if you bred a ZZ male burm to a ZZ female ball so they would all be a single sex. That's why I wanted to try the cross. If the cross only gave off one sex then you would know that female balls are indeed ZZ.

Now all I'm thinking is would a ZZ burmball be able to breed both male ball pythons and female Burmese pythons or would it be infertile... I think I've fallen too far down the rabbit hole lol

Edit: I just saw that you said whichever species had the larger gamete would decide gender. How does that work?
