Cracking the Cryptic/Crypton Genetic Puzzle 🧩 JKR-U 

Just to clear this up, outside of the Ball Python/Reptile community, Codominance is the same thing as dominant. Incompletely dominant means the allele does not fully supress the expression of the other allele in a heterozygous form, or to more simply state it, you can see a difference between a homozygous normal, a heterozygote of the trait and normal, and the homozygous of the trait. Codominant, or Dominant would mean that whether there is 1 (het) or 2 (homo) copies of the trait, it is visually the same and indistinguishable. There has been a ton of confusion over this since the late 90s/early 2000s about this, but understanding the difference and why they are different helps dramatically in understanding breeding projects. To take it even further you can say that whether or not something is considered Recessive, Incompletely Dominant, or Completely Dominant is dependent on the landscape that is the phenotype. For example, when Pieds were still new to the hobby they were considered strictly recessive, in that the "normal" phenotype coming from Africa at the time showed no difference from a het for pied. Now after decades of people having them and becoming familiar with their progeny, there are visual differences that can be used to reliably predict whether an offspring is "het for pied" or not. Part of this is us getting better at seeing it, and part of it is the bottleneck of genetics within the USA since wild caught/captive hatched imports are mostly a thing of the past. The phenotype of "normal" and the commonality of other genes that change the phenotype (multi gene animals are all the rage) means we could start calling Pied incompletely dominant to a degree.

Hate to burst your bubble but this isn't the only case of this. Candy and Albino do the same reaction called Candino.

@@handheldlover4004 cool man. didn't know that. do you know of any other allelic recessive combos?

You will have 1 in 4 chance of hitting a crypton (dbl het cryptic clown), any animal that is not visual crypton (dbl het cryptic clown) will be 66% het cryptic OR clown.

Correct ! It does

Nevermind... I'm stupid lol. I get it now... I wasnt looking at the number of genes ACTUALLY left over 🤦‍♀️🤣 I'm kinda slow I apologize!!

Too much [YB or Gravel] vibe :/

It works a lot like the whole toffee albino's that make the allelic toffino.

If anyone can do it you will so the project is in the right hands good luck keep the videos coming

hey man I hope you get back to 100% keep up that hard work. You got this.

@@reptilesrodents thanks man I appreciate it yeah I got this they can't stop me no retreat no surrender no surrender no defeat I appreciate the good Vibes

@@reptilesrodents and I also just subscribe to your channel to as well

If you have a hater Justin, then it must mean you made it in the BP hobby! You finally are somebody!! LOL!! I'm kidding! :D
