What other co-dom combos have been crossed to make white snakes?

I know of ;

Platty/Lesser Platy X Phantom
Vin Russo Het-Leucistic X Mojave

Any others?

Lesser X Mojave has also been shown to produce blue-eyed white snakes.

There could be more combos that have been done to make 'white snakes'. (BHB Enterprises HAS crossed Fire and YellowBelly but didn't get white snakes from the pairing.)

I'm sure in 2006 we'll see the outcomes of a few other crosses between 'het for white' ball pythons:

YellowBelly X Lesser
YellowBelly X Mojave
Fire X Lesser
Fire X Mojave
Lesser X Russo Lemon
YellowBelly X Russo Lemon
Fire X Russo Lemon
etc,etc,etc

Just my own theory, but I think compatibility of different lines of white snakes depends on the eye colour of the white snakes that a particular line produces.

For example:
Lesser ('het' for BLUE-eyed white snake) X Mojave ('het' for BLUE-eyed white snake) = Blue-eyed white snakes

Mojave X Russo Lemon ('het' for BLUE-eyed white snake) = Blue-eyed white snakes

I'd bet money that the following crosses WON'T produce white snakes:
Fire X Lesser/Platty
Fire X Mojave
Fire X Russo Lemon
YellowBelly X Lesser/Platty
YellowBelly X Mojave
YellowBelly X Russo Lemon

Here's my prediction for 2006: Platty/Lesser X Russo Lemon WILL produce Blue-eyed white snakes.
