I have a group of 2004 Hets for Lava Butter Motleys that should breed this year. I brought them up not long ago and they are doing very well. There are 2.5 in the group, so even though some of the odds are pretty long, we should see some interesting results. In my mind, the odds of producing the Mutant you ask about are 1/16 from the hets, but the predicted results below reduces those odds due to the Amel genes involvement. Some of the Lava Caramels will be Lava Butters. I think my goal in this project are Lava Caramel Motleys, but since Lavamels are distinctive, then the addition of the Caramel gene to them, may prove to be interesting as well.

I attached a couple of photos of one of the hets. As you can see, they are very yellow coming from the Caramel line. The comparison Corn is a Het for Striped Lava Lavender. The addtion of the Caramel gene has some dramatic results. All other Lava multiple hets look very simular to the Het for Striped Lava Lav.

Male = het. Butter, het. Amel, het. Caramel, het. Lava, het. Motley
Female = het. Butter, het. Amel, het. Caramel, het. Lava, het. Motley

Offspring predicted as:

wow, that sounds like a very cool project you have going. I am interested in seeing the results of those matings.
