its not really known and not really proven out. And im really noone, im just learning ball python genetics before i get my first ball python, i just noticed this and then i searched the internet for possible combinations. And i noticed two things, firstly that mahogany single-gene ball pythons really tend to look like the noble wood they are named after, and secondly that it just goes crazy combined with any other gene from the blue eye leucystic gene complex.

the other more common darkening genes do this with pastell. and make the pewters. Not this one.
