So...Amels....

[Pal-O-Mine]

So I was holding my juvenile corn "Bubba" the other day and wondering....... Bubba is an amel.....sort of. His color is a bit unusual for the typical amel. Are there different varieties of amel other than regular and flourescent? Please furnish pics.

Candy canes and sunglows are also varieties of amels.

I would recommend this site - it will provide you with insight on the different morphs and their color variations and provide you with photographs.

I'll have to supply comparison pics later. He's not a sunglow. He's definitely NOT a candy cane. He 's an amel but not a typical amel. He's.....different. He has this weird caramel, butterscotch sort of wash. I guess I just am too eager to know what morph he exactly is. And he's too young to breed. Just me being impatient here! He's my unique little wild card and I love him!

He could be het caramel, and it could be bleeding through...

 

[Pal-O-Mine]

So......what morph should I breed him to to prove this out???? Another amel? ( That's easy! My only 2 female corns in the whole house are amel! ) Or something else????

I'd breed to a butter, if he is het caramel you'd get Amels and Butters. If he's not then you'd get all Amels.

I would like to see this breeding and see someone get a Caramel in the bunch...LOL

Here's the pics I promised side by side for comparison. Wishbone on the left and Bubba, my wild card, on the right.

Hmmm. Butter you say??? Parkay or Land o' Lakes???:licklips:

And I AM going to Hamburg reptile show next week!

He looks a little funky, but its probably because of the motley pattern. He looks like an amel to me.

 

[crotalis40741]

This one is amel het butter you can see the caramel leaking thru on her

 

[Pal-O-Mine]

WOW! That one looks like the parent or sister of Bubba! The guy I guy him from said that he had sold Bubba's sister earlier and she was a motely too with more of a striped pattern. Then he sent me pics of her. Wish I had known! I would have snatched her up in an instant!

Have you bred that one??? What did the kids look like????

No I didn't breed her, I sent her to a pet home a couple months after she got here.

Gorgeous! I love Amels het caramel anything, especially when you can see the caramel gene peeking through.
Breathtaking yellows on that girl!

Definitely amel motley, and I agree that the likelihood of him being het caramel is very good.

 

[Pal-O-Mine]

( I wrote this reply yesterday but I was so sick with a migraine that I somehow FORGOT to hit the SEND button! ARRRGGHHH! )

What would happen if you bred him with a caramel?????

Devon

 

[Outcast]

You unless the caramel carries amel, I would you would get caramel's and normals. If your caramel were het amel, you would get butters amels caramels and normals. Found it here.

 

[Pal-O-Mine]

Okay, one more question before Hamburg. Butters have red eyes ( I ASSUME because of the amel gene. ) And gold-dusts have normal eyes, correct???

If you can call these eyes "normal".

 

[Pal-O-Mine]

Well I wouldn't like that to be the first thing I see when I wake up.

I just wanna know what I'm looking at in case someone tries to pass off some other morph on me because they know boa morphs better than corns! ( That's how I got Hiccup! )
