I don't know if I've seen this mixing or crossing over of the genes in hondurans, but I have seen it in the boa constrictors. Ralph Davis produced a 'freak' boa from a DH snow X DH snow breeding that has characteristics of albinos, anerys, and snows with different colored eyes all wrapped up in one boa! It's really a unique boa. I've seen anery boas with patches of normal pigments and hypo/salmon boas with patches of anery and or normal coloring. These all resulted from DH and het X dominant breedings. I think you see this more with the boas because of the larger litters(30 ) that occur which allow for more of this gene crossing/mixing to occur, where hondos rarely have clutches over 10-12. Just my thoughts. I find all the genetics involved very fascinating along with the unique animals that are produced!
