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