Ball Python morph
Ball Python (Python regius)
Heterozygous Cinder allele at Mahogany locus. Darkening with cooler tones. Allelic with Mahogany.
Dark color modifier locus with at least two known alleles. Mahogany (het): subtle darkening with warm reddish-brown tones. Cinder (het): darkening with cooler tones. Both produce dramatic super forms that are very dark. Mahogany x Cinder produces an acts-like-super result, confirming allelism.
How to identify it: Mahogany: warm dark reddish-brown tones, subtle as single gene. Cinder: cooler dark tones. Super forms are dramatically dark.
Cinder follows a incomplete dominant inheritance pattern, carried on the Mahogany / Cinder Complex allele (locus Mahogany).
