>>Good topic guys!

>>I think many are beginning to wonder if different morphs of hogs(Pattern or color mutation) that are similar are actually allelic.

>>Unless I am mistaken, many similar morphs in ball pythons have proven to be allelic or match up on the same DNA strand???, (please help me with this Gregg).

>>Though not familiar with many morphs, I think the cinnamon & black pastel ball pythons are compatible though they may have come from different areas.

>> Same true of the Mojave, Russo het, phantom, butter, and lesser, which can all be crossed to make BLE leucistics.

>>I recently heard that the two lines of caramel BPs are compatible as well.



Not sure if I'm the right Greg but I'll help out.



The black pastel and cinnamon are compatible and make a blacker super than the others combined. They are basically the same snakes but one makes a brown snake as a super and the other is more of a black color.



The 2 caramel ball morphs are not compatible.



Everything can make Blue eyed lucys and Black eyed lucys it seems. Depending on what combo you combine depends on how white the snakes is and what color markings it will have.



I think most 4 gene combos in the ball world will mostly make a solid colored snake with a small amount of pattern.



I think the caramel albino and hypo hognose stand more of a chance of being the same than do the toffee.
