Thoughts on cinnamon and enchi being allelic?

[rufretic]

Often with the allelic combos the offspring don't look like the parents. I mean, who would have thought that a super lesser/super mohave/lesser mohave/etc would be a white snake with blue eyes if you'd never seen one before? Or a super cinny/super black pastel/etc would be a solid gray/black snake? If you look at a cinnamon enchi or black pastel enchi they look as you'd expect: a mix of the two morphs. Super enchi looks like a reduced enchi, not something wildly different from what you'd expect.

Then there is proving it. It might be easiest to pick out a super enchi + cinnamon or black pastel in a litter, because the other super forms are solid colors which could mask the enchi gene.

I don't know that it would be considered proving it but I would think breeding a cinnamon enchi to any other combo and verifying all babies are enchi or cinnamon but not both would be a pretty good indication that they they are in fact allelic.
