HEy, nice to see ya. Did I just not see your other postings, or have you been away?
I posted down below mixed in with the cage size stuff. I asked a couple questions about aberrant patterns and Genetics.
thanks

One thing I forgot to mention..........anyone correct me if I am wrong, but aberrant patters can happen in any COLOR morph (excluding pattern morphs like motley and stripes - although stripes vary considerably), and I do not believe aberrant patterns are inheritable.

One question for someone who knows more than me........If you breed two zig-zags together, will you get at least some zig zags?

Also while I am asking.........Is aztec a pattern or a morph? So is it inheritable?

You are not guaranteed to get any zigzags, although in practice you're likely to get atleast some.

Aztec is a pattern much like zigzag, just with a different look to it. It's not a nice clean recessive gene like we like to play with. I don't know if aztec X zigzag produces anything unusual or semi-predictable. Aztec is quite common in lavender lines.

In regards to pattern morphs in general, there's some investigation underway to determine whether the wide-stripe variety of zigzag pattern is heritable.

Thanks for posting, Kat. I tried to give Misty an answer below, but it looks like I was only partly right.

I'm still sure that both are heritable patterns, but the mechanism is different that simple recessive, obviously.
