    Re: Gender Question

    So does that mean that the only genes that matter are the parents in all morph expression? It seems strange when compared with mammal breeding. But thanks for the reply!

    Except that a "het" snake is one that is carrying an unexpressed gene from its parents. If you breed two snakes that are het for a trait then some of the offspring will express genes from the grandparents. I interpreted this question as asking if it would be possible to see such an expression of hets. I'd say possible yes, likely no.
