I am trying to use genetics terms accurately. We agree that yellowbelly, pastel and cinnamon royal pythons are heterozygous. So there is nothing to argue about except perhaps the desirability of using "super" as slang for "homozygous".

No one is disputing what you are sying is techincally correct, it's just not the way the terminology is used over here in the UK, there are a lot of people on here who find genetics very confusing, and if we don't all satick to the same terms it only confuses people further.

you ARE correct but generally that terminology is not used with regard ot co-dom moprhs in the UK, only in the states.

I agree with this statement 100%.

Personally, I think that claiming there is no het pastel except that pastel is the visual het is very confusing.

Herp genetics talk is essentially a ghetto dialect of the standard genetics vocabulary. A ghetto dialect confuses people who move into the ghetto and is a barrier to communication when someone moves out of the ghetto. In my opinion, the best solution is to use the standard definitions of genetics terms rather than continuing in the ghetto.
