I'm highly interested in everyone's input on this...

In knowing there are now burmese x retic hybrids...
what would everyone think of a jampea retic x granite burmese?

First of all, I would like opinions on what everyone thinks the babies would come out looking like...second, what does anyone think the demand on those would be?
I'm guessing the babies would all be hets for granite from this breeding?
I'm just curious. I've seen the normal retic x burmese hybrids...why not dwarf species to make them smaller?

Just theorizing and having fun with thinking, humor me if you will.

They couldn't be het for granite, exactly, because there would be no "normal" P. molurus allele to pair with the granite allele. Instead it would be paired with a retic alelle, with who-knows-what result.

I'm just curious of basically the role of genetics from any morph I suppose of burmese to a jampea dwarf.
Or for that matter the normals to a jampea dwarf. Would be very interesting to say the very least.

I've seen only a few of the normal retic x burmese breedings and they've (in my opinion) ended up being some very stunning and amazing-looking animals. Hagrid for one is quite the looker.
