butter bloodred.......and double hets.......

butter x bloodred = at least triple hets?..right....

amelanistic and caramel and bloodred....(which can or cannot be viewed as a recessive gene that can actually make "hets"

not busting.....just asking other opinions......

nice snake....hope the color gets darker and maybe more of an odd orangey red color as it matures........nice

.......good luck..keep us posted with future pics.....

I believe there is something else there as well. Butter is amel form of caramel, but just breeding an amel to a caramel doesn't mean you'll get a butter just a caramel 100%het for amel. I was told that there is a third gene that is needed as well to get the butter. Some one please correct me if I am wrong!!!

Yes you are correct.They are actually triple hets.
The original breeding was Butter X Bloodred.
They each carry Amel,Caramel and Bloodred.
Thanks Rob
