For a long time i wanted to start a breeding project that could end up in something no one else is working with and i have been thinking about a jet black corn, but when i saw on one of the american forums that someone already was working on it and was alredy on generation 4 i scrapped that idea. 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 ;)

another way around this would be to try and make a candycane version of butter. It would take quite a while to get the look you want (as does any selective breeding project) but I think it would be well worth it :)
