    Is HGW allelic with lesser?

    Simple question... In the most recent snakebytes video Brian says that lesser and hidden gene woma are allelic which would mean hidden gene woma is in the blue eyed leucistic complex. As far as I know this is not the case and all the information I could find about the topic said a soul sucker bred to a normal can produce soul suckers. I saw a few threads but nothing with concrete evidence (one thread on bp.net showed baby pictures but no pics of the parents as proof). So basically I'm hoping one of the forum members has tested this and can help answer this question for good.

    I thought that maybe he had just misspoke so I commented "Hmm... are you sure hgw and lesser are allelic? Wouldn't that mean it's in the BEL complex?". He then commented on that saying "Yes I am positive. Allelic does not have anything to do with the BEL complex. Look at Super Stripes and Highways. When breeding a HGW to a Lesser you get Soul Suckers which are allelic." So according to Brian lesser occupies two different alleles... What gives?

    It happens at 1:32 in this video

    If they are allelic and you bred a HGW lesser to any snake you would never get a normal, allelic is like a super except with two different genes occupying the same location.

    It's not actually allelic/a super. I think the term he's looking for is epistatic cause Kevin uses that term to describe the reaction that lesser has with HGW. A Soul Sucker can replicate itself when bred to a normal where as an actual super/allelic animal cannot.
