Question for the Morph Pros.,.,.,.,.,.,.

APLAXAR Sep 29, 2007 10:34 AM

I was curious if, you bred and butter and a gold dust if one would compliment the colors in each other or would you throw double het babies and then have to breed them for the traits to show up? i am far behind the times n morphs but there are definatley a few that catch my eye

thanks for your time

Breeding a gold dust and a butter together, will statistically give you half butters and half gold dusts.

Butter = homo amel and homo caramel
Goldust = homo caramel het ultra het amel (ultramel)

Crossing these will give all homo caramel, 50% homo amel and 50% het amel and het ultra (ultramel).
In other words, clutches should be half butter and half goldusts.

That make sense, so what would be a good mixture to go with butters to enhance the yellow glow

.....a better butter! ....or motley or stripe. Butters look like they have 1 coat of yellow paint. Motley butters (and striped butters) look like they have 3 or 4 coats of yellow paint! Nothing else REALLY enhances the yellow. Even butter bloods aren't yellow like a good motley butter.
