Hi Paul,



I guess I have not given you all of the information. The female that produced the Black Lace had previous to that point produced two other clutches. On both occasions she had been bred to an albino male. The babies from those clutches were by all standards normal phenotypically. Yes, I may have just missed the odds but I'd say at this point a case of a spontaneous dominant mutation occurring in the ovaries of the mother would be hard to fathom. We are still in the dark ages as far as understanding the mechanisms involved in the genetics of ball python morphs - but I contend that at this point, using the current models, the Black Lace has been proven recessive.



Thanks for your input,

Dan
