With simple recessives I have not seen any compatibility when combining similar morphs... You mostly see it in "codominant" or incomplete dominant traits... You can say that the Mojaves, Russo hets, phantoms, butters, and lessers are all het for blue eyed leucistic, but in my opinion, calling them heterozygous is just dumbing down a more complex situation... In my opinion, they would be more of a codominant or incomplete dominant because of the fact they show what some call "het markers"... You can also call the animals, "visual hets"...
For instance, when you breed a Mojave to a normal, you will get 50% normal and 50% Mojave... You can clearly see the difference between the normals and the mojaves... You breed 2 mojaves together and it creates a white snake with blue eyes...
The same can be said for the Anaconda hogs... Breed a conda to a normal and you get a 50/50 split of condas and normals... Breed those condas together and you get a super conda...
So in short, it is instances like this where I have seem compaibility and not in actual simple recessives... If a simple recessive line is compatible with another similar one, chances are it is really the same line... Thats how I see it...
