borneo and blood python morphs,

strange genetics, very interesting!

Yup! They sure are nuts!

Here's a good link from a dude in the US who is doing some great work with the gene, he got me into the project!

Ultra-Breit Borneo Short Tail Pythons

i came across this site earlier, my computer is warning me strongly to stay away from it, probably wont chance it

Nothing wrong with the site, I can assure you, does it for me too!

Fair enough, i may just take a gander

Very interesting thread, these are truly very interesting animals to be working with at this time. Although there are probably dozens of royal morphs yet to be produced, with short tails the surface has only just been scratched!

It's leaning more toward a Co-Dom with either a second gene at work, or some form of "Super Super" form.

Sounds like this could be an instance of incomplete penetrance, in which a dominant or codominant mutant gene does not always show the effect when the gene is present. Polydactyly (extra fingers) in humans shows incomplete penetrance. There are plenty of others. The belief is that either other genes or some environmental factor(s) or both prevent the effect from showing.
