So, breeding an aberrant to one of these kings outside the aberrant range, will also prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, whether the trait is co dominant or not.



Sorry i don't agree with that. Cal kings are related and they do have spotty areas where thy are abberant. Something in the cal king genes (which comes from experince in breeding cals not finding them) makes them react in certain ways which makes me beleive breeding any abberant whether codom or not produce more abberants. That is just breeding expereince speaking and not just field collecting. So doing breeding trails to prove them out would not work like other snakes spp.



That is why breeding outside of a cal kings genetics is important.



Besides there is nothing to get your panties in a wad over breeding a cal to a corn or a pueblin. Which you make it sound like that is your issue. What i am saying a full proof way is to NOT breed it to another cal king because experince tells me there is something in the cal king that might not make it full proof they are a codom.
