The gene that piggy backs the super stinger or super zero that alters the pattern of heterozygous and possible heterozygous is not recessive, dominant, or Co-Dom. It is a affect caused by the gene that goes along with the recessive allele. The best example I can give you is with blizzard leopard geckos. The het and possible het blizzards are very high speckled, they are actually easy and obvious to pick out of most collections. Simply because we can pick out pretty much every hetero blizzard offspring doesn't make it Co-Dom. With blizzards you have something practically identical going on. There is a affect on the hets and poss hets that causes high speckling caused by neighboring gene that is adhered to this recessive morph. You can produce 100% het and 66% poss het blizzards with extreme high speckling. Find the non het blizzards with high speckling and try line breeding them only to find the high speckling is not passed onto the next generation. The easiest way to explain it is they are traits stuck together and separating them would be near impossible if you did they would be low grade versions.
On our web site if you read everything all of the answers are actually there, I just need to do better explaining.
For the separate lines of zeros and stingers. They were collected from the same area so Davids, Craigs, and ours are not really separate blood lines. They can look different depending on what you breed them to. The full backed zero white out on Urban reptiles site is not anything different we have produced 4 white out zeros like that so far. We actually had two on our available page near identical almost 2 years ago and I can take pictures of another one we currently have if you need to see it. Unfortunately for the fat tail market the demand for new morphs is not extremely high, they collect from the same areas and there collecting range is not very large. We have had separate stingers and zero wild caughts all work with eachother and the key to getting more insane patterns is to breed them back into the blood line not out breed them. If you breed zero X zero it is possible to produce a zero that is a not het recessive carrier but the zeros produced should have a very high chance of being het because that pattern is a indicator the recessive gene is there. For the piggybacked gene to be most prominent the animal should be a heterozygous. As for the dark pigment passed onto the offspring it is most likely from the piggybacked gene because anything from our super zero breedings are typically dark mahagony colors and sometimes a rich rusty copper color.
Also there is probably something I didn't answer, if anyone has any questions please feel free to post them.
