I can't BELIEVE I didn't hold back any of these crimsons from last year!

Hey Rich, is that an amel on the far right? Could this mean the clutch has some hypomel crimsons in there? Those borders look rather 'different' from what I've seen from crimsons in the past.
They are gorgeous and I'll happily come and kick you in the head and then run away with some of those snakies! :crazy02:

Sometimes the simplest answer is best. I think there is just Amelanism running through my Crimson stock. Both parents being het for Amelanism would produce a few Amelanistic offspring.
Of course it is possible that there is an "Ultra-like" gene in there, but having never bred any of my Ultra Hypos into my Miami phase or Crimson lines, I don't even want to think of the possibility of a new hypo gene spontaneously showing up here that is also co-dominant with Amelanism. :crazy02:
Plus, I don't normally breed any of my Hypomelanistics to Amelanistics, so trying to catch something like that would be extremely difficult for me to do.
Looks like a perfect candycane with black and brown eyes

Just being "pretty" or "unusual" doesn't normally qualify any longer. Just keeping something that MIGHT be something new would mean I would have to give up the space for something else that I felt had a greater likelihood of producing something interesting. The problem with trying to produce multiple recessives (not that the Ultra is going to make life easier on me!) is that you have to commit so much resources in order to give yourself a reasonable chance of producing them. The 1 in 64 odds can be a headbanger at times. This is a lesson that new people getting into this just have to learn the hard way.
