Granted you are probably correct in saying that it's a recessive trait but probably doesn't PROVE them out. Every trait that is known had to pop up somewhere unless GOD was in his colorful mood the day he created ball pythons. It will eventually happen that a new co-dom trait will just pop up in a collection without any reason behind the mutation. He was also correct in saying that the a recessive trait isn't proven until the homozygous animals create hets and then the het's are bred together to create a homozygous animal, just like a co-dom animal isn't proven co-dom until a super is produced that produces all "het" versions that when bred together produce supers. It's just the way it is done until technology is brought into this hobby/biz and a better way is derived from it.

But by the way those things are awesome and put me on the list for some het's in 09 if you have any available, yeah I'm sure you've already heard that alot today.
