Thanks all.
 
Just because I haven't seen a caramel that light before doesn't mean it can't be one. Considering the variability of normals and how some can look exactly like hypos makes a breeding trial with this one recommended to find out for sure. The black looks really black, which might indicate that hypo is not involved, but then, there are dark hypos so dark ambers can also exist. But I CAN say with 99.9999% certainty that the snake is homozygous caramel!
 
Hmmmm.

I thought amber myself, much to yellow to be a caramel, I have 3 caramels adult-juvenile, that look nothing like this !!?!! :confused: :poke: We know the breeder , He's actually the :bowdown:Jedi Master :bowdown:that got me started in the CB snake world. There is confusion to this clutch, HE bred two phenos, butters together and got no butters?.....Murphy hard at work. Any way we will know next year.
 
Sounds like, from the breeding you mentioned, that the ultra gene might be involved? Breeding a golddust pair together could give you 50% golddusts and 25% ultra caramels...which COULD both look like the above...along with 25% butters....throw in a little murphy action....and here we are?

:shrugs:
 
I agree with Susan... that's definitely a Caramel. If it's an Amber then it's a very dark Amber. I would expect it to be much lighter than that if it were an Amber.

Click to expand...

I was thinking along the same lines...Ultra...in the mix. I do not believe it is an Amber, too much black pigment around the boards from what I have seen. I had a female Amber het hypo and I do have an Amber Motley male! No blacks on either one of them. BUT I AM NOT AN EXPERT!

Good luck in proving your animal out!! Good looker to boot!
