Fire Ball Python: Genetics and Pairing Odds

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