Thanks man. have a great day.

And I still haven't. That snake is not expressing caramel at all. It looks like a pinstripe motley amel.

Thanks for your kind insightful words of wisdumb...
You are obviously an expert on how genetic traits
are expressed. Have a great day and good luck
this season.

Yeah, too bad. Because you know what amel and caramel make? A butter. This is not a hypo butter motley.

It might be a fire motley, or even a hypo fire motley. It might even be *het* caramel.

But your post declared this snake was expressing the following traits:

Amelanism, diffused, motley-stripe, hypo, caramel.

Problem is, the caramel is phenotypically entirely absent from that snake. Being snippy about it doesn't make it there when it's not.

This is what a sulfur looks like (amel, caramel, diffused): http://iansvivarium.com/morphs/species/elaphe_guttata/sulfur/?sid=

This is what a butter motley looks like: http://iansvivarium.com/morphs/species/elaphe_guttata/butter_motley/?sid=

You'll note they are yellow, not red and orange.

I agree with Shari on this one -using the word wisdumb = name calling [bleep]HEAD
