Intro Music - EEKmusic on audio jungle
Nidovirus paper - Serpentoviruses: More than Respiratory Pathogens

Scoria -wobble in the heterozygote, lethal homozygote spider
https://superiormorphs.wordpress.com/2009/06/11/the-scoria-boa-mystery/
Super motley - lethal by 2, hetero still missing some amount of muscle and has small head and blown out sides
Motley / Super Motley

Keltic - hetero is okay, super is has much the same problems as a super motley
Both Keltic and super keltic:

Smoke - assuming allelic keltic motley functionally like a super motley, basically a snake with a time limit

Super jungle - lethal to some initially others at 2-3 yo and the rest as older adults, any reproduction from these is a rumor from europe, there’s a handful over 5 but woo that’s a real victory to have a barely functioning 8 yo that cant breed, heterozygotes seem fine

Super hypo - blown tire sidewalls, there’s some sort of musculature issue, breeds just fine and normal lifespan as far as anyone can tell, AKA salmon, orangetail
Hypo

Super Hypo
Super aztec - lethal to some, failure to the thrive in most due to neuro issues, some of them live for awhile, I’ve never heard of them breeding,
Aztec

Marron - homozygotes sterile, and most of them don’t live into adulthood, heterozygote appears fine

Keywest/rlt/parsons - supers seem to die at an unusually high rate at birth, so they drown before birth, blown out sides like a super hypo imo
Hetero

Kahl/sharp - bulging eyes full of fluid at birth, some eyes fail, some eye recover, linked to melanocyte not mediating eye formation so you cant breed away and antibiotics doesnt help keep the eye unless its getting secondarily infected

Fires - thin skin, small scales sometimes small eyes, i havent played with a homo fire but they breed… clearly

Onyx/leopard - this could be a boa sigma problem but they cant digest well as babies, get big bellies and die if over fed, it seems to me like its more common in the homozygote
Leopard leopards:

Zero - some percent have narrow heads, no idea about long term issues with the narrow headed ones, zeros homozygotes do breed
Normal zero -

Icky zero -
Labyrinth - heterozygote seems fine, rumors that some of the heterozygotes just never want to breed, no rumors about the homozygote yet. They’re all reportedly alive and doing okay.
Sangria/blood - het and homos seem okay
Raptor - just fine
All T+ lines - seem fine
Kraken - not monogenic
Sterling - if zeros can have narrow heads can these as well?
Anerys - all of them beautiful and perfect in every way
Imgs - seem good, although how many people have a known homozygote
Jablonski ss - just fine
