"Jelly" x "Jelly" giving you all "jellies" is not impossible but i think it is a statistical rarity on paper.
We know that "Jelly" is Homozygous morph expressing two independent genes simultaneously resulting in an intermediate mutation.
Given the fact that there are two "jellies" are used, the gametes (sperm/egg) will carry one of the two genes (PB or T-) in the case where you produce all "Jellies" every fertilization occurred between gametes carrying alternate genes. the only way to produce a jelly.
Additional evidence of the mode of transmission can be found when we observe pairings such as: "Jelly" x Hypo, "Jelly" x Lav, "Jelly" x WS, etc. in all of these cases all babies are normal carries. If an animal is carrying both Amel t- and PB genes it will be a visual "jelly."
Furthermore:
"Jelly" x PB results in "Jellies" and PB
"Jelly" x T- results in "Jellies" and T-
(jelly x het pb or het T- = same results, but these pairings results in normal hets... each of which carry a single gene, hence being "wild type".)
There is variation within the PB mutation as well. I've hatched out PB females with dark eyes and some with ruby eyes. light males and dark males (both with ruby eyes). The PBs i produce look nothing like the originals either, most of mine mature into chocolate brown adults.
Dark male PB hatchling
From what i've seen "Jellies" vary based on pairings.
Original "Jelly" X Original Amel T- line (no outcrossing) results in the lightest "jellies" which makes sense as that phenotype is not very colorful, besides some light yellow-orange hues.
Amel T- x "Jelly"
Original "Jelly" x HET for peanut butter (brown adult female): results in high orange jellies. The brown coloration seems to translate into orange.
Het Pb x "Jelly"
Other "jellies"
Yearling hi-orange "Jelly" Male
"Jelly" Getula ( Goini X Eastern X Floridana): While these look similar in pix some were lighter than others although they were all female
