OK this is a long tale so I'll try stay on track.
I have produced an odd "snow" from my Hypo butter pair and think it is a butter ghost. ( i.e. Homo for all Hypo, amel, caramel and anery )
Initally two friends bred an Amber ( hypo Caramel) and a snow het for hypo.
They produced hypos and normals.
Two year later 1.2 of the hypo's were bred together and produced amels, snows, 2 butters, ghosts and more hypos'
I bought several of the clutch out of interest, including the 2 butters.
As the parents were homo hypo all the babies have to be hypo so , the snows were corals, the butters were hypo butters and so on.
This year, I bred the hypo butter pair together and got more hypo butters.
Great I thought and then out pops a strange snow.
I put all the know genes in to the corn prog and it predicted the "snow" to be a Butter Ghost. ( i.e. Hypo, amel, caramel and anery ) I understand the same mix of genes can also be reffered to as Amber Snow, which I think is a more accurate name as it looks like a snow.
Obviously both hypo butters must be het anery from the snow used in the original breeding.
The clutch is still hatching and I have fingers crossed for a second Amber Snow appearing.
I have been unable to find "Butter ghosts" or "Amber snows" on any price lists and wondered if anyone else was producing them.
Has anyone produced these before and do they have photos of what the adult form looks like. I assume any yellow would be expressed weakly ( due to the anery) and only when the snake puts on a bit of size.
Cheers
