I also believe it is a new line. At simply snakes they say it is their own line which they produced. So if so,and its not just a fluke..then it is a new line as in a snow and a blizzard for comparison,they both look alike but just because the snow has a pattern it is a different line,as in okeetees and miamis,they look alot alike but are both different. and dont get me started on more....LOL! I just wish i still had my normal red phase corn zip!perhaps it is a creamsicle, but if they can reproduse that same coloring over and over with some sort of regularity then it is indeed a new line.
