Pastel RES X Amel RES

HerperHelmz Jan 30, 2005 02:29 PM

Has anyone attempted to do this yet? I'm sure anyone to produce some albino pastel RES would make some nice $$ from them. Sure, the morph would take 15 to 20 years to fully establish in captivity, but all you really need is a nice looking pastel male and a couple albino females. Breed those together, raise the normal looking babies up to adulthood, breed the babies together, and you should come out with some nice, unique looking pastel albinos....

Sounds good in theory, but as far as I know pastel RES are created by messing with the incubation temp of the eggs, not by genetics.

I think that is true. It's incubation conditions that create pastels not genetics.

Yeah, a couple other people told me that as well, but I couldn't find no info supporting the theory.
