no problem
While the original wild caught animals may of looked different, as we continue to breed them, we can easily see there are butter that look like the original lesser and lessers that look like the original butter. More than 1 gene goes into making how a snake looks and even that one gene can have different levels of expression by itself. That's where variation in any morph comes from. Pastels imo vary more than any other morph, doesn't mean they are different morphs.

You got the right ideaI just want to correct the terms. Mojaves are a different allele. Lesser and Butter are the same allele. All 3 are the same gene.
