BUF gene

someone have information about this gene and pictures?

Run a search for all threads started by slangenbroed. That should give you about all you can handle on buf.

I hear you can read all about it in the new 2010 Cornsnake Morph Guide! I haven't got mine yet. I never could stick with the buf threads. Hopefully Chuck can present it in a more coherent manner.

i thought it was never been proven correctly that buf is new gene or somthing so i would wonder how that would fit in the new morph guide....

Yeah Roman, thats what I also thought and I reread all the Buf discusions and they still did not had an end.
But maybe I oversaw some threats...
Would like to know, what is standing in the morph guide...

It a caramel look alike .
When you see the them with caramels or others together , they are different .

There is not much in the 2010 morph guide about it...but it is listed as a 'confirmed' morph, rather than a "coming attraction". One key note though is that it is listed as a dominant morph, rather than a recessive...'buf' is dominant to wildtype. (bb=wildtype normal, Bb=buf, BB=buf)

"Buf
Buf is dominant to wildtype and modifies the color by removing the reds, leaving the saddles brown. It also turns the ground color to yellow. Overall it is similar to the effect of caramel, but it has not been as extreme as the caramel trait. It has been test bred with the caramel gene and does not act like an allele.

It was discussed on "the other" forum, I guess that is where more of the info is. I don't know if I'm convinced, I guess someday, when I feel up to it, I will have to find the info again. By my biggest complaint though is the word "buf" in general. I don't know why, but I find it highly annoying. What is buf? The buffalo-niagara airport code. Why not buff, though even that is kind of annoying. Buf makes me think of the bufo genus of toads. Another big annoyance with the word "buf" is you can't even use the forum search function for it, because it is only 3 letters.
