reduced pattern diamond

Here we go..

Question for the experienced Diamond python breeders out there.

What are your thoughts on RDP (and/or stardust) genetics?
How are these genes being passed? Codominance, Incomplete dominance, Polygenic, Recessive or something else?

A little background on me: I am not a genetics wizard. I am a very new Diamond python breeder. I produced my first clutch last year. A rdp male x psychotic exotics female. 14 hatched, exactly 0 rdp's.

Despite what others will have you believe, RDP and stardust are the same thing, which is a simple recessive gene. So your offspring are all heterozygous for RPD/stardust
