Bambino Ball Python: Genetics and Pairing Odds

Bambino is a co-dominant (incomplete dominant) gene. One copy gives the Bambino look, and two copies make the Super Bambino, a stronger version of it. Bred to a normal, a Bambino gives about half Bambino babies; a Super Bambino gives Bambino babies every time.

In Lock and Lay, Bambino can't be bought at the start. It turns up only as a spontaneous mutation, from a lucky egg, and the first breeder to hatch one gets their name on the discovery board.
