Gene
Het Daddy is a ball python gene in the Blue-Eyed Leucistic complex that does not visibly change a snake on its own; despite the name it is not a het for a recessive gene. Its effect shows when it is paired with Lesser, making the Platinum, or with Butter or Phantom, which sit at the same locus.
How Het Daddy is inherited isn't settled yet.
On its own the gene does not visibly change a snake. Its effect shows with Lesser (the Platinum), Butter or Phantom, which sit at the same locus. One reference calls it dominant and the other incomplete dominant; neither fits, and no two-copy form is described. Despite the name it is not a het for a recessive gene.

Much older animals are documented, but an exceptional record should not become a promise attached to every hatchling. Create a free ball python profile so age […]
A ball python feeding and shed log is most useful when it records events without guessing their cause. Keep what was offered, when it was offered, what you observed afterward, and the date and character of each shed. Creatures supports animal records and care plans so future tasks and completed events can stay separate. This […]
