First off thanks to all for responding to earlier posts. It seems a common theme that a few of us are leary of the "Tiger" gene. It looks like the term tiger has a wider scope in boas than I thought. But since I'm expecting to sell offspring this year I really need to clarify how I should go about marketing these babies when and if I get them. I've bred a Honduran "Tiger"
Male to several normal females. Now if roughly 50% of the offspring carry the same visual , missing saddles semi reverse stripe look, as the father can we assume that the trait is co-dominant or not? Is that not the proof in the pudding so to speak. I'd like to be able to market them as genetic and it seems to me that would be proof enough. Also how much aberrant "tiger"like pattern is enough to identify the gene, I think therein lies a real dilemma. It looks like the neonates with barely visible signs of tiger-ism wouldn't be worth much more than a normal if any. HELP....
