I always figured that YBs were YBs, kind of how I figure Fires are Fires... I know there is variance within the morph, but does that impact the eventual super version?

I assumed that even two lower grade YBs would create an Ivory... which it does, but does the amount of blushing and flames on the YB impact the Ivory (super YB)???

I just got home from a show where there was two ivories on different tables and the difference was amazing. One was stellar, one was... not even really a *meh*.

If it hadn't been labelled an Ivory I would not have instantly got it.

So what in a YB impacts the quality of the Ivory and in what ways?

If anyone that has worked with them, or researched this, has any feedback I would love to hear it.

And yeah, I have a YB. He is a nice YB, but isn't a stellar YB. Nice strong stomach and some nice flames that go about half way up his ventral, and has some very typical and pronounced YB markings.

Same with his contrast, he has nice strong colouring (which I really like about YBs).

But he is low on the high flames and the blushing.

One thing that got me thinking, was that I assume that it can be pronounced through selective breeding, but if those traits are contributed by the non-morph parent, then how important is that in the Super?

Thanks in advance,
