Paul thanks man. Thats some very interesting stuff there. Have there been any conculsive findings yet? I can see why that would be a long and lenghty process for Ball pythons and other animals. But the genetic advantage to Produce Homozygous Dominate animals I would think would be worth the time and effort. Especially if you are breeder who is trying to make money. If get all 100% Visual het offspring that's a boost to any breeding program. Your 50% odds go up to 100%. Thats just my opinion though. Leos would be the perfect trial for this. They reproduce very easily and early. You Ball breeders wish you start breeding Females at 7-12 months. Then have 2 egg clutch every 15-30 days and average 4-8 clutches. After about a 15-30 justation period. Yes it would be much eaiser to prove it out in Leos.
