i would never rule it out, i think it happens.

but then, the champagne gene has to interact with the rest of the normal BP genome somehow, so it may be true that it still does make a difference if you go for a patternless or patterned one.

like with enchi to normal, it makes a difference if you breed it to reduced patterned normals compared to busy patterned normals.

it would make sense to get pictures of the parent snakes and to take these into consideration. Maybe even further back, pictures of grandparents.

i think the gene is a real wildcard, but i dont believe that the rest of the genome doesnt affect it, i think the truth is somewhere inbetween.
