Butter Lavender Motley at 1 year and 200g

Always mostly awesome
Since this girl is pretty unique and not many of this combination; Amel, Caramel, Lavender, motley exist happen to exist, I'm posting the most recent pictures I took. If anyone else has a butter lavender, opal caramel, opal butter, AmeCaraLav or what ever you want to call it, I'd love to see others to compare her to:D

This is Cordelia, 2011 female. 200g.

The yellow and pink certainly make a strange combo, she certainly is different looking. It's very hard to capture these colors, I suspect the white palance on the camera has something to do with it, but these are pretty accurate, the pink is just a little more saturated in real life.

The current plan is to breed her to my male lavender het hypo stripe and see what happens.
 
OOOOHHHHH, I was JUST thinking about this...I happen to have a normal male that is het amel, caramel, lavender, motley ph anery hypo...and we aren't too far away in case you want to try that, I didn't even think to post that on ERAS it just popped into my head as I looked at her pics again!
 
Very cool! I could use her in most of my projects!

This is a suspected Caramel Opal from this year...

Josh, I'm curious (not at all questioning your thoughts though so I hope it doesn't come across that way) what it is about this baby that causes you to suspect this baby is a Caramel Opal? Is there anything noticeably different about this baby compared to others in the clutch etc? We all know how photos never truly depict the animal in them so it is hard to see anything distinct about it, again I'm not by any means saying that there isn't anything different:)
 
I got 2 Opals in the clutch and this one had a yellow tint that the other didn't have. Mom is homo Caramel and dad is proven het. Sadly, both babies were uber kinked...

Hmm, wow, that is a great combo, what a rainbow of hatchlings that could produce! I'm going to seriously consider your offer.

airenlow, thanks for the picture!

Here are a couple of pictures from last summer the day I brought her home.
I think the tell tales sign is around the spots on her back, so you'd look for it along this one's saddles, even as a hatchling you can see the yellow is strongest here where the black would be on a normal.

Wow! She looks great. I would not have imagined that the caramel would show up in such a dramatic way like that.

Absolutely! I have another male that would work too but I plan on using him for 3 girls already and it will be his first season. He's ultramel het caramel, anery, hypo and lavender...and who knows what else he might be hiding, I'm pairing him with 2 amel girls with the same hets and a hypo het lavender girl. The only thing I had potentially planned for Boston (the normal) is to pair him with his sister, she's an amel obviously carrying all the same hets and ph's. He's in shed but I will post a pic of him when he sheds, he's very hypo looking and you can definitely see the caramel influence...I tried to find pics of him on the other forum but I can't, I'm sure there's some on there though if you wanna spend a few hours digging through my old posts...cause we all have time for that:laugh:
 
Cool! My big question is, will she be breeding size this year? She's about 200g right now, I'm not brumating so she's got all winter to grow. I'm hopeful she'll be good to go.
 
I got 2 girls ready (355 and 340g.) from 255 grams last year, with a 4 week brumation. Any smaller and I wouldn't have bred them though...
 
Spring stats so late up here (snow is still on the ground in march) that I've been able to bred corns in may before. So, things are looking good.
