    Calico vs Sugar?
    Whats the difference between a calico and a sugar? Is it similar to a Lesser and a Butter where it's basically different lines of the same morph? I.e. diff lines of axanthic?

    I love them, but I don't know which is better or if one has better blushing / higher white etc.


    Thanks everyone, and I apologize if this has been asked before.

    I too have been under the impression they are the same morph, just different names.

    I was under the same impression. I think sugars generally Have more white though...but don't take my word to the grave on that.

    The biggest difference is that usually Sugar's are genetic Blackback too. The white amount varies on all of them but Sugar's are usually Blackbacks. That's my main conclusion. I prefer the Blackback for the projects I'm working on. I looks great with the high white melty pattern IMO.

    It's along the same lines as there's something else going on if that's what you're inferring :)
