You are asking good questions but you missed one. Which lines kink the worst? Personaly, I would avoid bell line caramels. I mean the bells go so far as to put kinked animals on their tables. RDR has too many videos of kinked caramels for me.Snakekeeper seem to be somewhat better. Nerd goes even another step in the right direction. Then malsin/upscale is by far the best.
Second thing you might consider. How inbred is your snake from the breeder? I know a breeder that bred Brother and Sister dbl hets for caramel glow together then bred the son(a caramel glow) back to mom. Guess what? 2 train wreck glows and one good one. Now what kind of babies will be produced from that inbred glow male(bell line too)??? I'm guessing not good.
You can breed any of these 4 lines (nerd,bell,upscale,sk)ogether and be compatible. Oddly, if you breed upscale to nerd the babies look upscale.

Good luck
