Always mostly awesome
So this is the first year a few that I decided to produce a few clutches. I've got two this summer, the first one has hatched (3 still just pipping) and given me what I believe is 1 Caramel, 3 Diffused, 3 Normal (one visibly het for diffused) and 2 what I believe to be Ultramel Diffused. Have a look here, see if you can help me.
These are the guys in question, both have no vent pattern though only one has any real diffusing up the sides. The mother came from a bloodred and a butter, the father came from a normal and a diffused golddust, so the father could be het amel or het ultra. Based on the offspring I think we've confirmed ultra.
Definitely not amel, but way too light to be normal.
Close up we see the grey lines between the colours
The eyes have a grey iris
So I think that these two are ultramel, but I've never produced ultramel, golddust or butter before so I have no idea if there is caramel in these guys or not. Or can you even tell before the first shed? If they are golddust and diffused, that's pretty remarkable as the punnett squares give me a 1/64 chance of that.
