I'm seeing "Het. for XXX pattern trait" boa Morphs...cases that would indicate simple recessive genetics, if in fact "het. for" were the case.
Some of the morphs I'm referring to...I thought were Polygenetic, Codominant, or simply specifically bred lines.
Can I get some opinions on some of the genetics, primarily for the different "pattern" morphs on the market today?
A lot of these morphs have degrees of expression, so simple recessive doesn't make sense to me. Some have defined identifiable "Super" forms and some don't seem to.
Any help?
