: Is there a standard abreviation for all the genetic traits found in corn snakes, that are used on the pundit squares? If so what are they? Is there someplace that gives these different morphs with these abreviations? If not is someone willing to put one up? In case I haven't been clear on what I'm looking for I've seen things like Rr, RR, rr and am not sure what they and others mean beyond dominate, ressive, homozygous, and hetro.
: Thanks for the help.

I will e-mail you my list in html format. It probably doesn't lack more than a couple of mutants.

The only standard abbreviations that I know of are a for amelanistic and ax for anerythristic. I added abbreviations to the rest in my list; they follow the standard rules for genetic symbolization, which that RR, Rr and rr do not. Genetic symbols are just a way of saving bandwidth, just like all the emoticons and initial slang (LOL, AFAIK, etc.) you see on these forums.

I'm working on a web site. Eventually, that list of corn mutants will be up there, but so far only some genetics definitions are up.

BTW, that's the Punnett square, not pundit square. It was named for R.C. Punnett, the British geneticist who developed it.
