Another solid example is Ben Seigel's Orangebelly's. They're compatible with regular Yellowbellys but only Orangebellys can make Graphite Ivories.

Genetics is not as difficult as people like to imagine it is. It's really more so about what we haven't bred together yet vs what we think we know. However we can make reasonable conclusions based on previous breeding attempts that lead to either Success or Failure.

Besides we already have a recessive mutation that does something very similar: Hypos. You have Butterscotch Hypos, Orange Ghost (Hypos) etc and they're compatible but not the same. However Green Hypos & Blue Hypos and a couple of WC lines of Hypo are not compatible with those two, however that doesn't NOT make them Hypomelanistic it's just a different means to the same End. The same could be said for Axanthics as well.


It is possible to be compatible with both, that is how genetics work. You can't say it isn't possible untill it is proven other wise. I am not saying they are.... but it is a possibility.

Also there are some Green Hypos that are compatible with the other lines.
