Gene

Satin is a ball python color and pattern gene. It is incomplete dominant: one copy shows, and two copies are listed as a Super Satin, though that form is not well documented. A snake carrying one copy passes that copy to about half its offspring; a snake carrying two copies passes one to every offspring.

How Satin works

One copy shows Satin.

Class

Where sources disagree

How Long Do Ball Pythons Live? Lifespan, Aging, and Records

Ball pythons commonly live 15 to 20 years in captivity, and some live longer. Merck gives that planning range, while the Royal Veterinary College says up to 25 years.
