RE: genetics

The terms dominant and codominant refer to Mendelian traits. The patternless/patterned trait in Children's Pythons is not Mendelian, it is a continuous, quantitative trait which involves a large number of genes (and in some cases, some environmental influence). At some stage a mutation will probably turn up which will give us a Mendelian patternless allele/gene, potentially it could be dominant, codominant or recessive.
