Does snow mask blizzard?

[Kat]

We've all heard that Charcoal masks Anery, but what about when Amel is thrown into the mix?

I ask because I paired up two snows het charcoal motley, and out of 13 hatchlings so far (1 egg is unpipped), all are snows or snow motleys. No blizzards or blizzard motleys. Is it masking or Murphy?

Has anyone else done a pairing which might show that snow masks blizzard, or that snow -doesn't- mask blizzard?

I think it just masks. For some reason, anerys seems to be a real beast when paired up with amel. While charcoal and lavender seem to 'mask' anery in most cases, when amel is thrown into the mix it all reverses.

I saw a clutch of Rich's that was from amel het lav blood x same. A bunch of opals were out---and a snow. Of course it's possible that the snow wasn't homozygous for lavender, but we've seen plenty of crosses of that sort that produced snows.

My bet is on snow 'masking' blizzard.

So nobody's done a cross which might definitively show one way or another? I'm looking for specifics... what was bred, what the results were. Are there known results out there that prove it one way or another, or is everything to this point just a guess?

I did produce Snows and Blizzards from Snows het Charcoal. So it does 'appear' that Charcoal dominates anery 'A'. They did appear to have some patterning but not much more then some of the others in the Charcoal clutch. BUT....it is possible that the patterned ones in the Charcoal clutch were also anery 'A'!

That's all we have to go on at the moment, plus your clutch. So, maybe it masks, maybe it only does sometimes and it depends on what else is going on.

It's also possible that there's some sort of partial thing going on, where amel + charcoal + anery A = stronger patterend blizzards, or something...

There's definitely a split in the clutch in terms of strong vs weaker patterned.

Snizzard corns. :sidestep:

What was the original cross, anery mot het amel X blizzard het anery?

Parent generation:
Charcoal het snow X Amel motley het anery

F1s:
Snow het blizzard motley X snow het blizzard motley

F2s:
Snows, snow motleys, lighter variants of the same (blizzards?)
