Pondering...

If you bred a blackbutter (black pastel X butter) to a blackbutter. How does the super black pastel and lucy blend? Like a pied patches of black and white or do they fade together and make a silverish snake?

You're basically mixing matter with anti-matter and the results will likely be catastrophic. Maybe an exlosion that will destroy our solar system or a black hole that will suck up the entire universe. If that happens, congress will really be mad and won't let us have snakes any more!
I'm sorry, but I just couldn't resist. I don't think it's been done yet. We'll just have to breed them and see.

My guess would be that the leucistic part of the snake would wipe out anything you blended with it resulting in an all white snake.

I could be wrong - I often am.

I am with toshamc on that.

White is the lack of pigmentation.
While black is when the snake is at full pigmentation.

Think of the snows. An albino mixed with an axanthic. The albino is the lack of producing melamine. While the axanthic is the lack of producing yellow (or at least in a lower degree). So the snow is kinda white.

I wouldn't see why a Super Black Pastel X Super Lesser, wouldn't make a totally white snake too.

But if one of them was a paradox, yummy lol
