    Re: Mystic X Lesser ?

You cannot make more Potions by breeding to a Normal nor can you make Normals from Potion x Normal. But any cross with a Mystic and any of the other BEL members that lines of both traits in the same snake will produce a "Super" that's a BEL , just in some cases won't visually look white!

    And yes Lesser x Mystic should be about identical to a Karma!
    Wanted to clear this up as it needed to be addressed so others aren't confused!

    I see what your trying to say but i think it still needs some clarity

    BEL = Blue Eye'd leucistic

    By definition, it is not leucistic by anymeans. Heck, super mojo shouldn't be called BEL. But its only called a BEL because of the trade name given to it. You can't call a potion BEL tho, its not leucistic and the hobby didn't give them that name like the super mojo.

    But I see you were elaborating on the fact that mystic and mojo are on the same locus. so having both genes present is a homozygous mutation (aka super form). but what Hypnotic Exotic said is true.
