You will produce just as pure Hondo animals as you started with, no more, no less. They are BOTH totally natural phenotypes that are found in the wilds of Honduras and Nicaragua. The two different colors have nothing to do with intergradation, or hybridizing at all!.....not a thing!



When breeding both color types together, it sort of depends on what color was a more dominant feature in the parents lineage, and their parents too, but you can produce a medley of different phenotypes ranging from typical tricolors, to tangerines, and intermediate "peach" phase all in the same clutch, or more of one type or the other. All of these are very possible within a single clutch and are produced all the time. I have all sorts of those very same colors here that were all produced in one single clutch. Amomg many morphs, very tangerine hypos, and very distinct tricolor hypos were produced. Both colors are as natural as the day is long...



Also, the pattern itself has nothing to do with the colors either, acccept generally speaking, tangerines quite often have a bit wider inner triad rings.



Have fun with them!
