Ok I understand calling normal hypo's heterozygous.
I also think that beginners should keep het and co-dom or dom out of the same sentence all together.
Heres what I dont get. I am no college grad, I know boa genetics as well as anyone from a non-technical stand point. But to me any mutation that yields 50% visuals in the first generation and supers if those sibs are bred together should be co-dom or incomplete dom. A spider or pinstripe ball is considered dom because there is no super form. There is a super form in hypo's whether or not you can pick them out of the crowd to me is irrelavent.
Paul and Dave you guys know way more than I do from a technical stand point (I cant even spell technical or irrelavent.LOL) so I'm not saying your wrong and I'm right. It just doesnt make sense that a spider ball is dom because there is no super but in every other "co-dom" mutation there is a super its just that hypo's are the only ones you cant pick out from a crowd so this makes them dom???
