Color and pattern phenotypes in ball pythons (Part 1). Observed variation in pigmentation and color morphological phenotypes provides evidence for genetic modulation of these phenotypes. (a) Homozygous cinnamon (codominant), heterozygous banana (codominant). (b) Homozygous piebald (recessive), heterozygous pastel (codominant). (c) Heterozygous black pastel (codominant), heterozygous pinstripe (dominant). (d) Wild type. (e) Piebald (recessive). (f) Heterozygous cinnamon (codominant), heterozygous pastel (codominant). (g) Heterozygous pastel (codominant). (h) Heterozygous Lesser (codominant), heterozygous pinstripe (dominant). (i) Homozygous piebald (recessive). (j) Pinstripe (dominant).
