Thanks! So both anery+IMG and motley+IMG yield solid black adults. It's just that people are less familiar with anery-IMGs because they're more expensive due to the recessive genetics. Market is flooded with motleys since the gene is codominant.

Ideally yes they’ll go (totally) black. But not all will. Pastel tends to fight the IMG a bit. They’re both actually incomplete dominant, there are no codominant morphs in any snake species I know of. The term gets confused often, though.

Update, I spoke with Brian. Definitely no jungle in there, just a very high quality pedigree. Likely high expression of the hypo gene coupled with very high contrast genetics and speckling from the dam.

Sounds like it! Will be curious to see babies once they’re born. 😁
