Morph Question??

I looked in my Morph Guide and I though this might be an Amel Q-tip Motley? I don't see any white or black on it from these pics. Any ideas? Let me know, Thanks

Pics

sorry for the cruddy pics

Those eyes and ground color all say normal motley/stripe to me. If it were an amel it would have red eyes. Cool pattern though.

I thought normals had black on them?

The motley gene tends to dramatically reduce the black borders, plus there is the normal variation seen in normals. I've had several that had greatly reduced black. The main indicator that identifies amel is the eyes. They will be red/pink if homozygous amel.

Here are some comparison photos for you:

Amel motley


Normal motley


Hypo motley


Normal with minimal black


And that particular motley would be better described as a pin-striped motley versus a Q-tipped motley.

Awesome critters, just stunning

Thanks Susan, I will be sure to look at the eyes when I see it. That's neat that it's a pin stripe. I think I might have to have it lol
