Various genes have specific impact on the color and intensity as well as pattern, and its very interesting to see the combinations of genes. While some specific breeds and combinations of color seem to be incomplete dominance other, while being recessive share a lot of changes on the patterns and overall colors of the snakes. It is really cool in the aesthetic effect of these genes and also the specific pattern genes that are known to cause adverse effects to the snakes behavior (spider ball python wobble). It will be really interesting to see when and if the actual genomes of these color mutations in snakes is further researched, and what the knowledge based on the allele will allow for breeders to accomplish in the future.Luke Dauitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05854124236865894987noreply@blogger.com
