a freak occurance (genetic anomoly so to speak) and something altogeter different. I have seen many people over the years get these double homos/dual visuals, or visuals they should not have gotten. Some people attribute these aforementioned scenarios to "the _____ must be a het and you had extremely bad odds." In many of these cases I have to disagree and it is some other meiotic, nondisjunction, fertilization, or partho scenarios we do not quite understand. My female Sunglow is a virgin, so sperm retention is ruled out. The biology on these old world snakes is not black and white all the time and there are other mechanisms/errors at play (other than the simple particualte nature of genes). To be honest, not much research has been done on these snakes- and all that is known is from the experience of us herpers and the simple probablity rules applied to such breedings.
