Facts
Species:python Regius
**Name of Gene:**Darkside Gold
First produced by whom: From The Darkside BPs
**Year First Produced:**2016
**Genetics Type (Incdom/Codom/Recessive/Polygenic/etc):**incdom
**In complex with other genes?:**unknown but might be similiar to OD
**Other names/aliases for it?:**I originally called it Tangerine until I realized there was already a gene called that
Description:
Appearance; What it does/looks like?

Proven: To what degree it is proven out to not just be polygenic? The original females were labeled as fire but never proved, instead producing these light gold animals. And cleaning up the pattern. I’ve combined with pinstripe and did a gold to normal pairing last year that was 50% definite Darkside gold babies completely different than normals.Also put with banana this year and it makes the orange of banana almost pink. It consistently has produced the same type animal now through three generations from P (original females).
Unique: Why do you believe this is a new morph and not an existing one? Although it acts a lot like Orange Dream it did not produce a super when combined. It did produce a super when F1 male was paired back to P female.
Problems: Any problems? None so far
History: The history behind its discovery? I produced these babies from two different girls labeled as fire but neither proved in two years of pairing. Kept getting these bright animals and noticed how it reduced pin incredibly. I’ve done limited pairing to other incdom genes so far, concentrating on proving it incdom and the super.
