Historically, the red in these mutants continue to saturate for at least six years.

From photos of your visual het RF corns, I have always assumed he was homozygous, but then I am stunned at my above female RF Amel who by all accounts SHOULD be a visual het. Though her dam was colorful (pictured below), I do not necessarily think she is anywhere near pink enough to be RF. I would have to pull the others into natural lighting (my lamp in the snake room is a very unfortunate shade of yellow) to compare them accurately at the moment, but I will try to get more actual studio photos in the coming weeks. You of all people must be familiar with how time consuming that can be lol. The weather has gotten cold enough, most of them are not going anywhere until probably March at the earliest anyway.
