Butter Champagne Ball Python

One animal carrying both genes. Each one is inherited separately, so this combination is made by bringing them together rather than being a gene of its own.

Documented health finding on one of these genes

Champagne. Animals carrying this gene are widely reported to show a neurological head wobble similar to that associated with Spider.

The two genes

Butter: co-dominant; Lighter, cleaner brown with the pattern washed out and the dark edging reduced. Two copies give a white animal with blue eyes.
Champagne: dominant; Pattern largely erased down the sides, leaving a plain tan or orange animal with a faint dorsal line.

How one is made

Both genes have to come together in the same animal. The pairing that does it most directly is Butter × Champagne, which works out every outcome and its odds.
