Whether or not one morph trait or another is more dominant or not doesn't really matter in the bigger scheme of things. Simply because of the unknown. It is the occasional freak offspring that you will produce while attempting to tripple up the homo traits that is the real payoff. Not so much the tripple trait morphs. While this is great in and of itself, it is also the freakishly new stuff that may emerge while genetically experimenting that will be the next craze. Because you can never be too sure just what you might get. So it's a win win.





>>I posted a question in the Ball forum about the possibilities that seperate morphs might prove to be incampatible with each other. What I mean by this is the fact that one morph might "overwhelm" the other morph and therefore only one of the two traits wuold show through. I was informed that this is called epistasis and does occur. A responder stated that though it is rare that it could and more than likely will occur, especially in the ball pythons with such a large number of the morphs not yet combined. Anyway, the responder stated that he believed the the green and labyrinth morphs were like this and the green morph "overwhelms" the labyrinth. Does anyone know if this is fact. I had been planning on combine albino, green, and labyrinth down the road and was wondering now if this would be a waste of my time and efforts. Thank you in advance to all that respond, Todd
