this may be a silly question with no real answer but i will go and ask anyway...
if a snake was het for something, would its visible colourings change...?
ie. my normal has a white outline round each of its saddles. could this be a gene passed down from it parents that could be a hint to wot they were??
does that make sense??
cheers... |

Correct me if I'm wrong, and I often am.
But am i right in thinking that genetic traits can often go a few generations without surfacing again?
So the white markers on the saddles could potentially not have been seen on any relatives since it's great-great-grandparents.
But likewise, they could have been on ALL relatives before and after.
Or have i really just messed up a perfectly good thread? |

Normals
Normal het amel
Normal het anery
Normal het snow
How the hell do they tell??
