The good 'ol blue eyed lucy complex

[RandyRemington]

Right on with most everything, just a few comments:

...
the Blue-Eyed Leucistic complex is the group of mutations which all react with each other, producing a homozygous form when crossed, kinda like motley and stripe in corn snakes. They're allelic?
...

I've been looking for a name for the combinations of different mutant alleles for a while and haven't found one yet. I would not call them "homozygous" as technically they are a heterozygous because the two copies of the gene don't match (the definition of heterozygous). It's just that most of what we call "hets" are one mutant with one normal and in this case it's one mutant with a different mutant of the same gene and no room for a normal copy.

...
Mystic x any of the regulars ie lesser, mojave, het russo, mocha, buter will make a BEL. But its probably the same thing as a phantom. Phantoms when crossed with any in the list above will make BELS too, but not with each other (super phantom), they make a darker snake with pattern. Because its probably the same as mystic, then you can guess that a supermystic will look the same, or very similar.
...

So far I think the only mystic crosses with other members of this complex are mystic\\mojave = mystic potion and mystic\\mystic = super mystic. Both of those are dark snakes. If mystic = phantom which so far seems very likely then mystic\\lesser would be expected to be a BEL (karma) like phantom\\lesser. I've not heard of phantom\\mojave yet but that would be a good test of the mystic = phantom expectation.

...
I'm still not up to date on the specials though. Apparently they make a 'crystal' which i gather is not a BEL when bred with mojaves since it has colour/pattern. So since they react with mojave that makes them part of the BEL complex....but are arent thought to produce Blue eyed lucys when crossed with anything, given how they have so far reacted with a mojave?
...

I believe BHB or someone made what they thought was a lesser\\special and it was similar but some different than the mojave\\special = crystal. Don't know if there was any link to be sure it was the same special gene. The inheritance of crystal X normal (50/50 split of special and mojave and no crystals or normals) is another evidence that special is in the complex. The homozygous special has also been made and is a whitish snake that has a lot of yellow as I remember.
