Let me get this right, the arbesque is a co dom morph, correct. If so, then what does the super form look like. Also has anyone produced Snow arebesques, if so then who? Any pics

I asked the same question in a post a few days ago...didn't get much response. If anyone knows what the homozygous form of the arabesque is like I'd love to know. More importantly if the homozygous form is known to have deformities, etc. and if it is unwise to breed them.
Thanks.

My honest opinion (due to lack of people educating us) would be
to call the Arabesque an Incomplete Dominant. It has not shown
us enough to prove they can breed in a Dominant way. I would be
more than happy to change my opinion, just when someone tells
us the scoop.
Just in case you do not know. Incomplete Dominant means there is
a 'Het' or 'Co-Dom' (visual) that has not proven Dominant yet. I
hope that made sense. Kinda like a Circleback, or Pastel.

Incomplete dominant and codominant are synonyms at the level we are working on. And arabesque has not been proven to be codominant to the normal version of the gene. About all we know is that it is not recessive to the normal gene.
One of the definitions of "dominant" is "not recessive".
In my opinion, arabesque could be called a dominant, in the sense that it is not a recessive. Alternate, more wordy terms would be "dominant or codominant" and "some sort of dominant".
I'd like to know what a boa with a pair of arabesque genes looks like, too.
