Very nice clutch!!

Well, up until today it's been three weeks and I haven't heard from him one way or the other. I plan to keep trying however. I do have a plan B btw. Thanks for the compliment!

It is no surprise that people get confused by terms like super because they are only industry terms. Technically a super is a homozygous form of a incomplete dominant genetic trait just as a visual is a homozygous form of a recessive trait. So in a way you are not that far off Albert.

Well now I'm confused. So I guess I've been wrong about the super this whole time.

Thanks MC for the clarification. I do see the super form in my albino pastel het granite checkered garter believe then. Seeing as she has the pastel gene and the granite gene which she is het for. However her parents are both pastels het for granite but the hatchling appears as a yellowish practically albino animal and looks nothing like the parents? I will post pictures of her later today.

Koko, you see Super forms when there is a codominant gene that is bred to the same. Fire to fire. Lesser to lesser , mojave ,and pastel. Resulting offspring look different than the parent gene. Most times a super ends up being a all white snake.

I really like the lighter albinos, whether they're super pastels or not.

Or like in boa constrictors, breeding hypo to hypo, jungle to jungle, Roswell to Roswell, motley to motley, so on and so forth. None of these result in all-white snakes, I think that's mostly limited to ball pythons.

LOL....I tried reading the super explanation at 4am with no coffee in me. Don't mind me

Thanks mac! Yeah , the little guy is doing well. He hasn't taken a meal yet but sometimes it can take up to 1 week for them to take a meal. Other times they will need a live feeding to get them started. Haha.

These 2 are the siblings from the Pastel checkered het granite litter from 4-9-16. The hatchling in picture #1 (top) was the one sibling to these two. I think hatchling in picture #1 is a super pastel checkered het for granite. Or super albino pastel.

Albert Clark · 04-13-16, 10:38 AM

Sibling #2 from the pastel checkered litter.

It has nothing to do with ball pythons it is the type of genetic trait which occur among numerous species in the entire animal kingdom including our selves. Not all "supers" or heterozygous incomplete dominant morphs are white even in the ball python world.

Correct....

sirtalis · 04-14-16, 10:00 AM

Congrats man, thanks for the explanation about the super morphs

Will you be holding any back for future breeding projects?

Um. I think you misread? That's exactly what I said. I said the white supers were limited to ball pythons. I listed a bunch of super forms of boa constrictors...I kinda realize supers aren't limited to ball pythons. As far as other white supers, I said I think it's mostly limited to ball pythons, because I see few other super forms in other snakes that result in all-white animals. The only super in boa constrictors that results in white animals is the super fire/White Diamond.

Retics and Burms each have a Lucy I believe.

But I'm being nitpicky.
