So in a clutch of 8 it could happen but this would all have to happen in contradiction to the 2nd year breeding of the amber female that produced some visual caramels. The siblings that were bred should have also been het for that gene.

Ahh, but your amber produced only 50% caramels when bred to your caramel. The other half were normals. So your amber can at most be het for caramel. Therefore every hatchling from the Amber X Hypo clutch is only 50% possible het caramel. There is ZERO guarantee that the F1 pair you crossed is even het for caramel. Given that you got all normals in the F2s, you've either got bad odds, or at most one of the F1s is het caramel, and the other is definitely not.
