Anyway this is off subject from the thread, sorry for any derailing.

I believe, don't quote me as I haven't read about it in awhile, but the jaguar carpet popped up in two animals (I don't know if they were WC or CBB when bred) in a collection in Europe.
It honestly doesn't matter how many live or die in the wild. An albino snake could be produced in every clutch in the wild but most die anyway due to the loss of camoflage. It's what makes them rare to find and then imported in the hopes the mutation is genetically inheritable through breeding.
