Hell Yeah!
Diamond's 💎
Great Show Gents ..
Here's my though: RPD x Normal – if it gives RPD then one would assume that it is Incomplete dominant. The issue is many think that if the mode of inheritance is recessive, your normal might of been heterozygous. This is why you would need to breed a RPD to an unrelated line that has never had RPD pop out .. Aswell, has the breeding of 2 normal offspring that had a parent that was RPD been done? This would also answer a critical question.
RPD to RPD will always pop out RPD if it's a homozygous incomplete dominant or recessive, the result would be all RPD.. Unless is a polygenic trait in which case, it would be possible to get Normals from an RPD x RPD breeding.
My opinion, RPD is incomplete dominant. Thoughts?
I believe they know they have to combat, and they eat more to reach maximum size! Something about having to compete. That would be my opinion, why combating males are larger.
I can confirm that flying foxes are in the range, I’m in the Illawarra and I know of two large roosts of bats here that diamonds would most certainly predate on
Years ago episode 13 of K Brothers Pythons shows co habbing a group for breeding. Doug and Deb Smiths collection tour.
