Mardi Gras Ball Python: Genetics and Pairing Odds

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