I actually hope you do get some Sfactors, so we can start to get a few proven Sfactor carriers to be able to use to test other Sunkissed. I was going to test my Sunkissed in the same way as you are, but I decided that a blind test, was not the best way for me to go, since I have several Sunkissed to test out. I have a male Sunkissed that is known to be 50% poss Sfactor, but breeding him blindly to other Sunkissed, would not really prove anything unless I got a match, which seems to be a long shot. As soon as I come up with a female Sunkissed that is het for the Sfactor, he will be tested at that time.
I believe that I may have some Sfactors in one of my projects, so if they prove out to be carriers this year, I will have a pair of carriers to testing my other Sunkissed with results that can be used. I believe the Sfactor is a serious fatal gene, that needs to be eliminated from our Corn Snake gene pool, but the best way will be to test with a known carrier, so the results can prove positively whether or not the tested Sunkissed is a carrier.
