Wouldn't the super lessor remove all color therefore overriding the orange ghost trait? I would think you would still get an all white snake. Now a super cinny orange ghost should give an all orange snake.

The Super Cinny Orange Ghost cross would probably just be a lighter version of the Super Cinny. Let me explain.

The Super Cinny is patternless, yes, but its colouring is based on the 'background' colour (black/dark gray) of the cinnamon dominating and NOT its 'pattern' colour (tan/cinnamon) dominating.

Therefore the Super Cinny Orange Ghost would probably be unicoloured in a shade similair to the faded black of Ghosts.

I think the 'patternless' gene needed to make a solid-coloured orange/bright tan Orange Ghost cross would be either Ralph's OR VPI's patternless animals. Reason being that their patternless condition causes the colour of the pattern (sandy brown/tan) to be dominant over the background colour (black/dark gray).

Examples: Caramel Albino X Super Cinny = solid-couloured purplish snake.

Caramel Albino X VPI/Ralph Davis Patternless = solid-coloured yellow snake.

VPI Axanthic X Super Cinny = Black or 'Blackish' solid-coloured snake.

VPI Axanthic X VPI Patternless = Silverish/Gray solid-coloured snake.

Anyone else agree with my 'hypothesis'?
