Raul thanks for compliments as always I am gracious of your support! Can't wait to see in three weeks at Daytona and have some beers together. I am turned onto Bud Light lime right now so don't make fun of me!

Cajun Bill- I totally understand where you are coming from with the Champagne gene turning everything patternless. I think that it is wild and I can't believe that the gene can wipe out pattern from every mutation that I have crossed it with. Now I am a snake geek so I think that it is cool all of the little things that the gene does do to the pattern. Such as on my Champagne Pinstripes it put dark blotches next to the dorsal striping and really cleaned them up and took the circles off of their bodies. Now the Lesser Champagne is the cool pink snake with the yellow dorsal stripe. As they are growing they are starting to color up more so I can't wait to see them at 500 grams. I have three of this new combo and they are not all the same. One hatched out that has yellow patterned blotches throughout its body and it is smoking hot.
Now if you are wanting to work them you just have to understand that they are going to wipe out the pattern from what we know at this time. I think that it does what G stripes and super Cinnamon's do but just in a codom breeding so there is a lot of potential. To each their own and it all depends at what you are looking for. I still love a bright orange Champagne in all its glory! They are just beautiful. There are some more crosses that I can't wait to see happen so hopefully I will have some luck and be able to produce them in the next couple of years. I hope that this answered your question.

Thanks
Brock
Brock,

I can see your wheels turning! The Super Cinny was the the one snake that came to mind -- even though as you noted -- it is a super.

It might be worth trying a 2 to 1 ratio. A third pattern morph breed into any one of your existing combos. I.E. -- 2 pattern morphs + 1 Champagne = CRAZY PATTERN AND COLOR TRIPLE COMBO.

Just my hunch...Mr. Wagner might consider a Cinny or Black Pastel in a breeding. 2 powerful color morphs, battling it out, might give you that elusive HIGH RED or ORANGE we so greatly desire in balls. Should be fun!
