I do not offer my thoughts (you did ask!). Instead I bring a few questions to the table.

Is the "WC Monlezun" in the family tree a single specimen being represented in both parents?

I ask because...........

If this is true, then the original "WC Monlezun" is likely "het" for your trait, then his/her offspring are "possible hets" that then proved out in your potential mutation. With "WC Monlezun" represented on both sides of the parentage it is quite possible to send a simple recessive unknown down a few generations until a test cross

This exact scenario brought albino Lampropeltis ruthveni to the herp trade, so why not in Pituophis ruthveni! 8^)

Further, your potential (even likely) mutation is indeed proven simple recessive in a few other animals. Across the board it is called "granite". Check out granite burmese pythons or childrens pythons.

Congrats on an impressive animal. I cannot wait to see what it brings ya. Wooooohoooooooooo!

>>I do believe it is reproducible. I do not think it is simple recessive. Only time and breeding will tell.
