Recessive ball python gene
Genetic Stripe Ball Python: Genetics and Pairing Odds
Genetic Stripe is a recessive gene. A ball python needs two copies to look Genetic Stripe; with one copy it looks normal and is called het Genetic Stripe. Pair two hets and about a quarter of the babies are visual Genetic Stripe, 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 Stripe projects start.
