viewed as a codominant, "het russo" is really really subtle, but the very obvious super form, the white diamond, completely justifies it.
For it to be recessive it can not combine with another gene that is incomplete dominant and produce a white snake as well. Breed a het russo to anything else in the BEL complex and u get white snakes so it is in fact incomplete dominant.
