Multiple recessive mutations

Why oh why did you not keep him?!

Why would you say that?

Why would you say that?

"I had a anery, amel, lavender stripe/patternless.....that's the only quad I've had that I can remember off the top of my head."

Had being the operative word - I thought you no longer had him in your possession?

Ah yes....that is the operative word. I never sold him or gave him away...he just didn't make it. I had him breeding for 3 years but he just never recovered from year three. I've had a lot of trouble with the patternless/vanishing pattern line and the homozygous animals are very week. The outcrossed normal 'hets', however, are very hardy and this year should show me if it is a gene or rather a selectively bred trait.

Ahhhhh sorry about that Jeff. It didn't cross my mind that he didn't make it. Im sure it was quite devistating but as you said lets hope the hets prove out to be a much hadier line

There will always be debate when it comes to new morph names. Hypo lavs are being called amethyst quite regularly in the UK. I just like hypo lav. I don't like the term plasma though... I won't class any lavender diffused animals I may acquire in the future as plasma.

I have to admit I've never seen a hypo lavender labeled an "Amethyst" anywhere over here in the UK (but then, I couldn't afford a hypo lavender, so I haven't really looked!) - and I really think "Amethyst" would fit a bloodred/diffuse lavender better. But then again I hate hate hate "Plasma" - that's a straw-yellow blood product in my mind's eye!

However whoever produces new morphs will have (to some extent) a "right" to call it whatever they want. But if it doesn't wash with the buyers then theres no way the "superduperthingymebob" will stick. General concensus always overpowers ones individuals preferences - when it comes to markets like this. And generally so far, corn morphs are appropriately named IMO.

True. If I produce Glaciers or Glacier Stripes and choose to sell them, I'd probably say something like "Glacier (AKA "snopal", Lavender+Anery+Amel) for sale" so that people know that Glacier is synonymous with Snopal - and what the genetics of the combination are.

I've only ever seen amethyst as a synonym for plasma - I've only seen one adult lavender diffused "in real life" but IMO she was very much more an amethyst than plasma.

The other name I've seen for snopal/glacier is pearl, which personally I think fits in very nicely with opal in a less corny way than snopal.

Back to multiple recessives - I think the closest I have is a coral snow het bloodred (triple plus het). I will be breeding some lavenders het amel, anery, and hypo though - coral snopal anyone?

 

[Tula_Montage]

coral snopal anyone?

Yes please

Hmm, I really like the term Amethyst for Lav Bloods (Plasma makes we wanna barf uke01: )...I also really like Pearl for Snopals...

I think "Whiteout" & "Glacier" are dumb however.

Give me a few years.. I have numourous multihet animals.. I won't list all of the multi het aniamals, that would ruin the suspense... :grin01:

One pair is normals het amel, anery, caramel, hypo and motley..

Another group is normals het blood, coral, anery and motley.

I have worked at getting numerous triple, qaud het, and quint het animals.. Now I need to relax and hope the Odd's God's look my way and grant me thier blessings, eithier with the hets lining up or granting me the winning lotto ticket!

You need to make the proper sacrifice for the Odds Gods to smile upon you. This year, I may have to move up to a virgin ram as the several black roosters last year produced 4 blue motleys, but none of them ate more than 3 meals. I'm hoping for a caramel diffuse (eating) as well as more blue motleys (also eating)...so perhaps a fatted calf instead of the ram. I'm saving the children for something REALLY special.

LMFAO they should be the first to go! :grin01: :sidestep:
