Is this a co-dominant gene?

thanks.

If the white-sided gene were co-dominant with the wild type form of the gene, you would see a partial expression of the trait in any individual that was hetro for the gene (it would show thru so to speak). Since you only see an expression of the trait in animals that are homo for the gene, you know that it is not co-dominant.

Thanks.

How are the texas rats doing?

I was just looking at the orange hypos this morning, and their color is just amazing - even at this very young age the orange color is already coming on strong!

The tangerine is just starting to show the first signs of her color change, with the slightest hints of red between the scales.

Thanks again for the outstanding animals! I'll post some photos here soon.
