    Is there still a market for caramels?

    I love Caramel Albinos, but with there being Ultramels which lack the kinking of CA I have heard people say they just want to get Ultramels instead. I know there is always a market if the stock is quality and the produced animals are quality, but are more people really shying from the CA onto the Ultramel?

    Personally I think a quality Caramel Glow is 100x hotter than anything, so I may be a little biased.

    However, one can not, not worry about eventually having trouble moving babies. From someone very interested in the breeding hobby.



    Thanks,

    Caramels have completely dropped off of MY wish list.

    I won't work with 'em, I couldn't handle kinked animals.

    Re: Is there still a market for caramels?

    Why work with an inferior product? Caramels have the Double Wamy with the Kinking and Low Fertility issues in females...I had a lot of time and money invested in Caramels...

    I have now sold everything Caramel and replaced it with the Ultramel Gene!

    I'm not completely saying I don't love ultramels. They are just still to pricey for me, even hets. Hence why I thought of working with caramels

    I don't think the market is gone for caramels. At least I hope not.

    Re: Is there still a market for caramels?

    I like ultras - though some of them seem low on the plurple/ blue colour I love.

    I guess when someone finally makes an ultra-glow I will know for sure which I want to work with.

    I still like the Caramel morphs. In fact, we are breeding two different pairs this season. I think there is a market still out there, but just not as big as it once was.

    Sorry...I'm no help here, just wanted to say I read the title "Is there still a market for camels?" and I was very confused. Carry on.
