Bill, I spoke with Morton about that snake he made. The one thing that sticks in my mind was his comment about it having alot less black and alot more brown than a calico normally has. That being said the one Mark is posting here does seem to have alot less black than a normal calico has . I think I remember Morton also saying that it isn't so much a change in the amount of white displayed but the overall color difference or should I say background color difference that he noticed. In other words the Super Calico wouldn't necessarily be a high white sided animal but instead just be a lighter tone. I agree more clutches are needed to be sure but I think Morton has worked with that gene long enough to be able to say when he sees something different (meaning I think the Super form is what he actually made even if it is more subtle than we had hoped for)...
Good luck with this one Mark. I personally think you may be onto something there myself, the color is way off to me on this one!
