#2009154 DragonKeeper86 View Profile	Genetic traits... Ok, so Im starting to understand a little more about reptile genetics now, but I have a few questions. Which traits are recessive, dominant, or co-dominant?? I saw some hypo translucent dragons on Fauna that say they are SUPER hypo translucent... now I thought both hypomelanism and translucence were recessive traits? Are they not... cause when you get hets for hypo, or hets for translucence... they don’t look the same as the homozygous form. Don’t you have to breed dominant or co-dominant animals together to get "super" morphs?? Im still learning lol. Im just wondering how these can be "super" hypo/trans. Does anyone have a website or something that lists which traits are either recessive, dominant, or co-dominant.

I do know that a "super" is the dominant form of the co-dominant trait. I don’t think you can get a "super" from anything but co-dom and dom traits. But hypo and trans are not dom co-dom traits they are simple recessive which is why you get hets but you can get f2 f3 f4 and so on with these traits. I am sure some one will have more details or the links to see what is what but I don’t have them for dragons. I am looking for them too if you come across them let me know. I do know that NERD has a section on there website to explain all this for ball pythons and other snakes but not for dragons.
