This looks like an interesting morph to me. There are a couple things that I’m not sure about. Wouldn’t it be incomplete dominant or dominant instead of co-dominant? I am under the impression that there aren’t any co-dom ball python morphs and they’re all inc-dom or dominant. Also, are the pictures the heterozygous or homozygous form? Is the homozygous form visually different than the heterozygous form? If it isn’t, it would be a dominant morph. If it is, do you have pictures of the form that isn’t pictured here?

I have it listed as a dominate gene on my site. I have several nyalas from their collection.

A Super has been made by some in South Africa. It looks very much like Suma. Unfortunately I don’t have any photos. I did send him the link and hope he will post some photos.
We do believe Nyala is in the same complex as Mahogany but not exactly the same. One combo that we know that differ a lot between Nyala and Mahogany is the combination with Leopard and Mojave.
We don’t know of any Nyala to Mahogany breeding and haven’t done it ourselves as we don’t have Mahogany in our collection.

Can you give a link and not a screenshot? Nowhere on the picture/post of the screenshot does it say super nyala.
Edit, oh it is a link, just looks like a screenshot lol. Looks a lot like a suma though. Are we sure it isn’t just another line of mahogany since even the single gene looks a lot alike?
How is this trait displayed? The pictures are super diverse and I am not sure where the Nyala gene is. Does it darken? Higher contrast?
I am not super familiar with Nyala, and just would like to know more 
Mind sharing some picture?

I’m super stoked about this project. I saw the Nyala animals that Billy showed off in his snake of the week video and it blew my mind! Can’t wait to see where this project goes!
