>>John, the pattern can be anything, it doesn't change the gene that causes it to fade out dramatically. I'm pretty sure its different than a BEB or any lavender. When two Mocha's are bred together, the babies come out a normal brown. Until I saw that add, I had no idea how long it took for them to fade out. That snake is only 4 years old, so I guess by the time they are adult, they look like that. There are some pictures of the ones Jeff had on my website page "Genes & Morphs" at the very bottom. Its unclear at this point how its inherited. I'm sure someone out there in la la land knows.

Lol.....I know

All I was saying is the pattern on that one in the add is nothing like any of the known BEBs I've seen.....

So if it were a BEB in the ad then it was outcrossed somewhere upstream....
