Butter Cinnamon Ball Python
One animal carrying both genes. Each one is inherited separately, so this combination is made by bringing them together rather than being a gene of its own.
Documented health finding on one of these genes
Cinnamon. Animals homozygous for this gene — Super Cinnamon — are widely reported in breeder records to show structural defects including kinked spines and shortened, misaligned jaws.
The two genes
- Butter
- co-dominant
- Lighter, cleaner brown with the pattern washed out and the dark edging reduced. Two copies give a white animal with blue eyes.
How one is made
Both genes have to come together in the same animal. The pairing that does it most directly is Butter × Cinnamon, which works out every outcome and its odds.
