Garter Snake Traits - Category upgrade! [PENDING] [1626]

In preparation to promote Garter Snakes to a top level category, we need to build a trait list for the genes and combos.

For each of these, we need to know what kind of gene it is (recessive/incdom/dom) OR what combination of genes represent it.

Please add anything that is missing or correct me where I am wrong.

If you know anyone that works with Garter Snakes, send them a link to this thread and ask them to help out.

As this is such a huge group to work with, I have broken them down into groups along with their scientific name for clarification.

Each group has its list of known morphs within (if they have any).

I’m guessing Albino (checkered) is recessive…?
Same for granite?

yes, both recessive.
