Cypress Ball Python: Genetics and Pairing Odds

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