My friend bred her butter male to her snow female and produced these amels. Some were more red like a typical amel, while quite a few others, like the one I kept were orange and yellow, with little to no red. This is an 06 and its keeping the orange/yellow color is had as a new hatching last year though the yellows have intensified as you would expect. Has anyone else bred a butter to a snow to produce these colors? Does the yellow of the butter alter the reds of the typical amel to more of an orange like this one?

That looks almost like a butter to me..... Could have been that the snow was het. caramel. Also, being het. caramel is supposed to intensify the yellows.... But that looks like a butter to me.

"Have you ever tried simply turning off the T.V., sitting down with your kids... and hitting them?"

That's exactly what you should have gotten, all Amels het Anery & het Caramel

There's a lot of variation in Amels' colors, especially as babies, so that would explain the color differences you're seeing.
