The Origin of Champagnes

I always thought there was something special about the Champagne pink snows. Now I have proof!

Well that's one PINK snakey! Stunning!!! :)
What do you, Poppy, think of the thought brought up in the other thread that Champagnes might be hybrids?

The hybrid thought on the other hand made me wonder what would a "snow creamsicle" look like... Has anyone produced these?

I have discussed this question with Paul Belmore (Pasco Paul) who developed this line by selecting for the pink color for many years. He says they are not hybrids.
 
I <3 amethyst, and that's a gorgeous photo. That said, I don't understand its relationship to the title of the thread.

It's a joke. Just having some gentle fun with the folks that get all worked up debating whether or not Champagnes are hybrids by suggesting that they are so beautiful and special they must have spontaneously generated from crystals. I am not too hung up on where the gene(s) come from. In my view, the Champagnes can not only be stunning on their own, but I suspect they also have the potential to enhance other morphs in unique ways.

Thanks for the clarification. They are beautiful snakes - why hasn't spontaneous generation from crystals been considered already? Now that you mention it, it seems obvious! ;)

I've read some of those debates during the past year. Wherever the gene(s) originated, champagnes do have a distinctive beauty. IMHO, yours are drop dead gorgeous!
