So wouldn't it then be prudent to find out what method was used to prove out the ultra gene and try that method to see if the results would be the same? Man, right this second I'd give anything for four of these bufs to work with. That is if they were all buf het caramel from the original lines.

I'm glad all the name calling and nastiness has been left behind, I now like where this thread is going.

It all boils down to many people believe the buf gene isn't proved out until it is tested with a caramel-only snake.

Now Charles Pritzel has apparently stated in the 2010 Cornsnake Morph Guide that buf _was_ tested with caramel. I haven't read the book yet, but that was stated here.

I think people would like documentation of that.

He touches on it briefly that there is this morph, out there, that someone has done some work with. It's still being worked on...
If you don't have and don't work with it all I don't understand why you are getting so heated and saying that everyone expect the ultra thoery is wrong. . . .Man I am so lost.

but what kind of documentation? Ones say so, or a signed by a lawer kinda paper? LOL! Chuck's not available for me to harass just now. But if he said it in the book, he probably meant it as fact.

I should have my copy in the next week or so from Kathy so I will happily post what it says when I get it, that is if it has not before then.

I never said the Ultra theory is wrong. I only said that a suspected caramel or het caramel CAN be proven by breeding to a Butter.

this is what I have from someone more familiar with the project than I am. Bug came out of normals.

Buf bred to caramels gave caramels AND Bufs.

proving Buf was HET caramel, but not caramel. And I guess crosses were made that shows they are not alleles but seperate genes. Because there was no intermediate when the Buf to Caramel breeding was done.

I wish I knew more, but I do not. This is all word of mouth information, but then, hasn't most of the information we have done that way?

I meant except not expect, sorry for my typo. Ah but the results would be tainted with the Amel. Here we go in circles because you will say the amel is irrelivent, however how can you say amel plays no part if you can not prove that by not allowing amel to be present?

Basically I mean if you breed amel into it you can not say it is not the amel causing the issues. By breeding amel free you can rule out amel as an issue. In that way I think you could also rule out ultra could you not? I think people are mostly looking for it to be proven out that the buf animals are JUST buf with NO other colors causing oddities in the animals. I mean oddities like my Amel Mot het Caramel stripe being higher yellow than my not het caramel amels. The only way I can see to prove the amel is not having any affect whatsoever is to breed it out. I believe it was already intro'd wasn't one of the first pair butter? Thus the buf het amels already known? Breed out the amel to prove the amel is not in play that is what everyone is asking for. I know, not from you but in general.
