Thanks, You re-stated that very well...
you couldn't have a normally appearing boa that was 'het' for salmon for example. In otherwords, the codominant and dominant traits don't visually display heterozygous genotypes the same way as a simple recessive trait does.
I see it time and time again where individuals will mislabel, misrepresent or otherwise just call it wrong saying it can't "be" a het since it is a visual morph. Or one of my biggest pet peeves, "dominant" being use to describe a homozygous ghost, sunglow or hypo. Dominant refers to the method of expression, not the mode of inheritance! ----- Thanks,
