Mocha Gene Help?

I’ve seen quite a few ball pythons I like that include the Mocha gene. Every snake I see this gene in is white. So does Mocha fade out the pattern? What does it exactly do? I found this article

I see it’s a part of the Mojave family.

Is there a way to get a snake with decent pattern or color when paired against a mocha?
Just curious!

You should search up the “leche” combo. Its produced when pairing a mocha to a phantom and the pattern is pretty apparent as well as nice when compared to other Bells

Pairing a mocha with any animal that does not have any BEL complex genes will result in offspring that are not white.

Mocha is one of my favorite genes and I believe it to be severely underrated. It is part of the BEL complex so can make white snakes when paired with mojave, lesser, mystic, phantom, etc. Ive recently produced a mocha blade clown and its possibly the first, im not sure but it shows some of the possibilities of mocha.20191227_143533

Mocha brightens and enhances the yellows.
