I think it woud be fun to eventually add some different color schemes into the pattern. However, keep in mind these babies are only tan while they are young. As most of them get older, that tan color turns into either red or a strange, yet pretty, coral pinkish color. But there are always a few that stay tan. Here is a pick of the single offspring to come out of a Milksnake Phase Motley X Hypo Lav mix. As you can see, even though he is an "out cross" so to speak, he shows his heritage in his pattern. I would really like to see what they would do to ghosts or charcoal ghosts, since even the non-hypos have no black. I think it would be a really neat combo. I just have to wait for my charcoal and charcoal ghost to grow up.
