"In the case of that conda to normal, producing all condas, if that occurs a couple more times. I would question the genetics of the normal."

FR.
I will repeat what I posted earlier.
Firstly, because it's a very cute point that I think may have been missed by many people and certainly would be appreciated by the more mathematically minded.
Secondly, because your above comment is incorrect.

If both parents were anacondas, the probability of all six being condas would have been exactly the same as if one was a conda and one was a normal - about 1.5 %.

As Troy pointed out, for each baby it would be 1/4 for super and 1/4 for normal. Therefore, it would still have been 1/2 for anaconda.
