Recessive ball python gene
Genetic Banded Ball Python: Genetics and Pairing Odds
Genetic Banded is a recessive gene. A ball python needs two copies to look Genetic Banded; with one copy it looks normal and is called het Genetic Banded. Pair two hets and about a quarter of the babies are visual Genetic Banded, while the normal-looking siblings are each 66% likely to be het. Breed a visual to a normal and every baby is het, which is how most Genetic Banded projects start.
