do you have a clue what alleles are?
An allele is the location on the chromosome where the mutation is located. This results in different genotypes for each genetic mutation.
I expect that you are thinking of TWO mutations whose Genotypes are ON the same Allele. If this was the case with Pieds and Clowns I could produce a Pied by breeding a Pied to a het Clown.
SORRY, DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY!
The ONLY mutations in snakes that have been shown to have the same allele for TWO DIFFERENT PHENOTYPES are Stripe and Motley CORN SNAKES. If you breed a Stripe to a Motley you DO NOT GET DOUBLE HETEROZYGOUS (So you know both mutations are recessive) you get a snake that shows traits of both mutations.
Please DO not post information that is not FACT based, it doesn't help people that are trying to learn.
