Caramel Lavender

Hi there guys. I'm just wondering if any of you ever bred caramel lavenders or other combinations were both the caramel and the lavender trait has been used.

Does one trait cover the other one? Very keen on knowing this since I'm thinking about starting up some new projects.

If anyone has pictures they are more than welcome to post some!

Best regards

Kim H/Sweden
 
Carol Huddleston had this cross done, but I don't know if it was ever confirmed just what was what when they all hatched out! I have a trio of hypos het for caramel and lavender breeding next year. So I know it's been done, but very few animals out there. I haven't seen any updates of Carol's animals. A neat project to pursue for sure.
 
Yep, I did a Hypo het Lavender Carmel X the same and I got two male Amber Lavenders. I'm sure this is what they are as they are definitely not a normal Hypo, a Hypo Lav or an Amber but I'm still going to prove them out anyway. One is with a good friend of mine. Here is the last photo I took of the one that is here. He just recently shed so I should get another pic.

thanks for the update Carol! Helps me to think of what to look for next year when I breed my trio...
 
Thanks for the pics guys! So according to Carol the lavender trait won't cover caramel or vice versa? Since she said that here specimen looks neither like a amber or a hypolavender. But tsthompson's pic of the animal that is proven looks like a pure lavender. Maybe the caramel lavenders is highly variable in color as they mature?

Tom, has he been tested to see if he is homo for anything else as well?

Carol, I had planned on testing him to a charcoal. Unfortunately that didn't happen. He never went back on feed after breeding last year and passed away :( I still have most of his kids.

BTW Yours is amazing! Imho it's what the peach may look like if it was hypo. :shrugs:


Here is a photo of Rich Humes peach as an adult.Imho It looks as though it is expressing both lavender & caramel.

Carol could you post any more pics of these bad boys, if you have them. I have a pair of motley het ultra caramel AND lavender that I will be breeding next year and wanted to get a good idea what to look for...
thanks, Kyle
 
I think I might have me 5 or six of that males offspring from the year before Tom.. All of them look like Caramels and possible ambers.. Beats me..

Unfortuantly from another clutch with the adult male Tom had, this guy came out, and due to some heat circumstances we lost him.. He had a bad kink right out of the egg..

Sort of made me cranky to have lost a chance to get some kick butt progressions of him.. My best guess, he might have been a lavender charcoal..

One of the caramels from the father..

I'll try and get some more of the guy that is here this week, and I'll definitely take pics when I visit my friend who has his brother.
 
By the way Carol. Do you know if you will get any caramel lavenders or lavender amber next year? Or hets?

My male does not seem like he will be big enough to breed in 09, I'll have to find out if the one that is with my friend is any bigger. I have a Hypo Lav female and Butter female just waiting to prove these guys in stone. So I'll have Hypo Lavs het Caramel and Caramels het Hypo Opal in 09 or 2010.
 
Sounds great Carol, I got a contact in the UK that imported snakes from you and the other big breeders in US last year. If there's a new shipping this year you will hear from me again. BTW, I love your miami motleys as well!

Umm, I'm doing and inventory of all my animals (finally!), and was surprised to find that I have at least a half dozen adult Hypo Lavender Ambers (for want of a better name). Rather interesting looking critters. But of course I am only guessing that is what they are. Proving it would be another matter entirely.

Yeah, I know........ PICTURES!!!! :duck:
