Lemonback Ball Python: Genetics and Pairing Odds

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