>>Yeah, that mother is just INSANE yellow!. I'll bet her xanthophores store carotenoids like a warehouse!..LOL!!
>>
>> Do you really think it will get as yellow as the mother?

LOL.....
I think she will as will 3 others....I held on to 7 and my buddy has the het and two other amels (10 total). It seems the females are showing the yellowing more than the males.....

When I first got the yellow amel she had a white head and neck.....In her yearling photo she looks just like a normal amel holbrooki......I will dig it up tonight and post it.

Another "weird" thing the adult female is showing is "raised" scales....like an Angolan python....
It may just be me but her daughters are starting to show this too. Maybe the yellow pigmentation is "stacking up in layers" causing this...I don't know but she sure is different.

I tried to breed her to a young white wall male this year but he didn't know what he was doing yet.....maybe next year. Then we have lavender gene to play with too...
