Butter molty or butter stripe

No, you mean: which is better. ;)

I don't know if you can say that one is better than the other. Currently, butter stripe hatchlings cost 8-10 times more than butter motleys.
 
I think with butter motley, your goal is a perfect motley pattern, while with stripe you are going to be heading toward a solid golden or buttery yellow snake. I think the stripe pattern would be easier to perfect. I'm still kicking myself over not acting faster on a gorgeous adult butter mot, though- that snake still haunts me.
 
Dean was that Jake or Brett?

Butter motleys ARE beautiful, but butter stripes are butter!! I mean...better!
 
Butter stripes may be worth more, but I personally prefer the butter mots MUCH more. I really like the sort of "net-type" pattern some of the mots have, with various shadings of yellows.

Dean's butter stripe is a really gorgeous example! But still... the prettiest butter stripes look kind of like what you would hope the most beautiful amel yellow rats would look like. Very pretty - but give me the highly variable mots!
 
Wow Dean! Those are stunning! *Drool*

Why pick one or the other? I just got 1.1 pair of Hurricane Butter Motleys het Striped from Joe Peirce (Both parents are Rich Z stock). I can't wait till they grow up. I will have some pictures of them in a few days (they just ate).
 
I have been trying to find an amel stripe and a carmel motley. I have found an amel stripe, but I can't find a carmel motley anywhere.
 
What do you guys think would happen if you bred an amel aztec with a carmel? how would the butters turn out?

If you breed an Amel with a Caramel, you won't get Butters immediately. The first generation will be Normal het Amel & Caramel.

If you breed two of those Normal het Amel and Caramels together three years later, then (statistically) 6.25% of the hatchlings will be Butter.

If the adult Caramel has no Motley in him, then breeding him with an Amel Aztec will just produce normally patterned offspring with a Motley het (think Aztec is just a selectively-bred form of Motley, but happy to be corrected).

If you add that into the mix for the second generation breeding, then you have a 1.56% chance of producing a Butter Motley, which may or may not show Aztec characteristics.

A pretty poor return for six years' work, unless you're really, really into Butter Aztecs.

Check out the Marcel Poots Genetics Wizard - not only will it show you what to expect from breeding morph combos, it will explain how it calculates it so you can learn as you go along.
