New to Granites.....

JRJReptiles Oct 21, 2007 04:37 PM

I am new to the blood morphs and find the granite very interesting. Is it a co-dom morph or a recessive trait. Is there a super form if it is a co-dom? Thanks

There are two appearances that are currently available: Marbles and Granite/Speckled-sided.

The marbles are "co-dominant" and have unusual patterning along the back of the animals.

The granites/speckled-sided are recessive and are relatively normal pattern along the back, but can have extreme checkering/granite pattern in black/white.

Both have much variation and through selective breeding, this can be enhanced with each generation. The photo below is what I call an average granite. I have another photo taken by another that is posted on the other blood forum, which was taken at the Tinley Park show. That one is more extreme.
