Super leopard is like super pinstripe, it exists but it doesn't look any different than the heterozygous form. A leopard x leopard would result in 25% super leopards but you would never know that they're supers without test breeding. It's similar to pos hets except it's pos supers. I personally don't really understand codominance but most geneticists say that all ball python morphs are incomplete dominant so I go with that. It took me a while to fully understand all of the allelic and sex-linked morphs but I think I have most of it figured out, but there are still some things I'm trying to learn.Originally Posted by Armiyana
To be fair, I was listing them according to what World Of Ball Pythons has the genetics listed as. I'm honestly not as brushed up on spotnose as I could be. It's not a gene I looked into past the possible downsides and not in my breeding plans currently. Also, I don't know if super leopard is a fluke or not just that Kinova and Morph market seem to think so? *shrug* correct me if I'm wrong. But they seem to think it can which is why I mentioned it.
From what I remember hearing, most incomplete dominants are listed as co-dominants because of how they act in ball python genetics. I'm honestly not 100% clear on it myself. It just seems like things are labeled that way to keep it easier for the general masses (like myself) when it drives actual genetics buffs insane.
I just know how the genetics work as far as certain complexes and such pass on or work as allelic with one another. Like oh boy does cryptic throw a weird wrench into clown things.... and the same with male makers and female makers on Coral Glows/bananas.
