>>I like to look at things logically. Yes, I know, that kind of thinking has bitten me a couple of times, but It works a lot of times. I am thinking that if you have a pastel, you need another copy of pastel to make a super pastel, so it takes 2 copies of pastel to make a super pastel....so... you need TWO morphs to make it. A pastel...and...a pastel. Two morphs.....2 copies......double morph......super pastel is a double morph. I also believe that a morph needs to be visual, so a pastel pied would still be a double morph. A normal that is 100% het for (whatever) is not a morph. A pied is a single morph. A pastel het pied is a single morph, but a super pastel pied is a triple morph cause you still need 2 copies of pastel, so.... that is just me. I am not trying to bang anything home, I am just stating how I think of this topic.

Yet a Pastel is indeed "het for Super Pastel".Same as a Yellowbelly is het for Ivory...Just because an animal doesn't exhibit the different than normal allele doesn't mean it isn't there. :D


I see what you are saying though..You are referring to what it requires to make said double,triple,or quad heterozygous animal.
However,if i remember correctly,the whole "triple threat" saying originated from some of the first Queenbee threads..Which referred to its genetic power in breeding.(With its ability to reproduce three different genes independently.)
So for me,unless it can throw three different genes it isn't a "triple".
