You might want to rethink this statement. Heterozygous Sickle Cell Anemia is advantageous, where Homozygous is not.

It might be advantageous, but you can't see it (phenotype) You need special tests to tell if someone is a carrier. I think the statement was that you won't "see" if a recessive het is involved because you would need to be homo not het for the recessive to show visually. If it shows as a het then it is dominant.

You don't need to do blood tests to "see" the effects of being Heterozygous for the Sickle cell gene. The rules apply for things we can see with the naked eye and those we can not. The genetics we commonly look at in the hobby are externally visual ones, eye color, skin pattern, pigmentation, etc.. That does not mean that all the traits we are not looking for don't exist. We just don't care about them unless they affect the visual morph of the animal.
Anyone who breeds corns, or other snakes, long enough can tell you that they can pick out animals Het for certain genes.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK21804/ an interesting read, I've always loved genetics and the discussions they produce. It's one of the main reasons I like the corn snakes, so much variety and still unanswered questions

Updates?
Bringing this thread back to life... any updates on the Copper/Kastanie/Mahogany/Sunrise debate?
We're working on Golden, but haven't paired it with any of these yet (that I know of) - Joe Pierce seems to be getting out of the Golden project; myself and Laura Samson (WindSerpents) are still trying to get the project moving. Just mentioning that since Golden was mentioned in the original post. We'll have to wait for those test breedings.

"Orange thing"?
Also, I remember that Steve's "Orange things" from 2014 might be in the mix, also? Possibly allelic to / the same as Kastanie? Anything been proven there?

I forgot about OTs! Argh! Any photo updates on those? I assume the OT in this case was a younger male.
