Re: 0.1 and 1.0? and a little extra quick question
A normal (you called it standard) is what is found in nature almost all the time. Since nearly the middle of the last century when people have found naturally occouring genetic mutations (often never seen before) these animals became the focus of breeding projects. (To prove the visual mutation was genetic) In addition various mutations have come about by combining those natural mistakes (for lack of a better term) to create even more spectacular animals. (Eg mojo x mystic for mystic potion)
This gave way to combining genetic "ingredients" over generations of animals to arrive at true designer aminals.
Every type of designer BP (M or F... Single gene or multi) is more money than a normal. That cost is sometimes heavily based in the look of the animal, of it if also based in the economic potential of the animal from a breeding perspective.
For example:
P-Lesser (visual pastel-lesser) that is 100% double het for two other genes)
Het is short for heterozygous
It means the snake is heterozygous (carrying but not expressing) the genetic traits.
That animal is worth more that a P-Lesser, and the P-Lesser is worth more than a pastel, and your pastel is worth more than a normal. (Because of the look and the potential.
