yes, I am obsessive about combining lines and outbreeding. ;)

Very nice snakes, but I have to ask: how do you know you've combined all three lines?

Beautiful snakes! Love the ghost!

Me likey the caramel...you send him to me? :P

for example, a het for caramel "TSK" line bred with a het for Caramel "VPI-Nerd". If a Caramel is produced = "TSK + VPI-Nerd", two lines combined Caramel.

A two lines combined Caramel "TSK + VPI-Nerd" bred with a "BHB" het, if any Caramels are produced = "TSK + VPI-Nerd + BHB", three lines combined.

they must be compatible!

That makes some sense, but I don't think it proves you combined the three lines. Genes come in pairs, so your TSK + VPI-Nerd + BHB is probably only TSK + BHB or VPI-Nerd + BHB. To truely prove they are all compatible you would need to breed just a TSK to a BHB and a VPI-Nerd to a BHB.

you could be right, they have all been proven compatible by other breeders which is why i selected them to breed together. best wishes, Kyle
