I thought I was understanding morphs now but something has just struck me like an iron bar to the face...
I was under the impression that Co-doms result in supers when bred together, as my my mojave when bred to another mojave will give me a super mojave..
I was also under the impression that Dominant, unlike recessive and like co-dom is passed on with each clutch so you don't get hets you just get another morph (or chance of anyway) and I was also under the impression unlike co-doms dominants do not make Supers.
So when I searched for an Ivory and was told it was a co-dominant I was surprised on the basis that I don't think I've ever seen or heard of a super ivory.
So is the website wrong and it should be Dominant or am I wrong in assuming that all co-doms have supers? |

A condom??
It is a homozygous Co-Dom though. |

Jhk that was the website that confused me in the first place listing the ivory as a condom hehe it's a very useful website though |

If it helps, look for a site "worldofballpythons.com", it has a list of almost 900 morphs, what gene-type they are and even a wizard that will work out the odds per egg of a particular pair of royals together :) |

Close, you are right that Ivory is 'Super YB', although I personally prefer the term Homozygous. However, it is still a Co-Dominant gene, it does not change to Dominant.
Also, 'Het' is just short for Heterozygous which means different, i.e. the gene pair has different genes on it. Dependant on the gene type (recessive, co-dom or dom) it may be visible or not.

Good luck  |

MMMM!
I was under the immpession that an Ivory was just homozygous for the co dominant gene of the yellowbelly. Dominant gened snakes have no visual difference in appearance whether they are heterozygous or homozygous. Such as the spider or pin. There is clearly a difference between a het Ivory (aka) yellowbelly and an ivory.

Scales and Tails have both male and female YB's in so if you want that Ivory (which is the super form of a yb as danny said) but don't want to pay Ivory prices:) get in there quick lol |
