No way im gonna be able to catch up there. So due to the lack of sleep i think, the albino topic gave me an idea or rather reminded me of one i had a while back but never got started. Now im thinking that i should give it a try, and i have a decent idea how to do it, but im not 100% sure yet, so please let me know if you find flaws in the plan. I want to try to create a "new" morph or rather a morph of a morph that has a pure white, glossy background like the blizzard and with bright yellow sadles. The idea im working with is a Dilute Blizzard selective bred for yellow pigment... Im using dilute to enhance the yellow and there are no other colors it can mess with. As i know that blizzards have pattern even though it isnt visible to the eye most of the time, shouldnt it be possible to go this way?: Breed a dilute sunglow amel to a dilute charcoal. Offspring should be Dilute 100% het for Blizzard if im not wrong. After breeding those, take the young that show most yellow pigmentation and breed those. A friend suggested using a fire instead of the sunglow to get more orange (and with that more xanthin), but that would take away the whole point (i want a lot of yellow pattern on these snakes). Thinking about it, it could end up looking nice with a stripe version of that snake... Can anyone figure out another way to go or find a problem in this plan, please post ;) /Magnus [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
