I thought so for a good while. After reading Vin's new book and thinking about it I think otherwise.

The general explanation for basic genetics is:

Incomplete Dominance = White Flower (WT) - Pink Flower (het) - Red Flower (homozygous). The heterozygous form being a blending of the traits.

Codominance = White Flower (WT) - Red Flower (heterozygous) - White Flower with Red Spots (homozygous).

I dont have Vin's book on me right now but I recall him mentioning that the "paradox" albino boas we see, if they were dominant, would be considered a codominant trait. This makes sense to me and is parallel to the basic flower example. Motleys, Jungles, etc to me, seem to fall under the incomplete dominance catagory. My understanding of Mendelian genetics is admittedly limited to primarily what I know from researching boa morphs... maybe someone with more in depth qualifications can chime in and clarify (Paul?).
