    Question about super fires
    Since I can't find anything about this by doing a search...... Does the super fire/leucistic mute out all other genes from being expressed, or can they show to a degree? For example, if you were to hit one together with a pattern morph, such as a spider super fire, enchi super fire, pinstripe super fire, etc., would the pattern gene be completely hidden or could it appear in the yellow/orange areas that they get on the white?

    To the naked eye, leucistic pretty much overpowers other morphs.
    However, you can see patterned morphs visually under a black light. So yes, morphs like pin and spider will show up under a black light.

    depends on the morph.

    for very light morphs, enchi typically works as a darkener and pattern enhancer, so i looked it up and...

    yep, works. unfortunately WOBP does not have many of such combinations. i would like to see cinnamon super fire, pinstripe super fire, black pastel super fire. these might also look different.

    I'm not sure that the black light trick works on Black eyed Leucistics like it does on Blue eyed Leucistics, but that super fire enchi is pretty sweet and the orange dream super fire is pretty nice too.

    Well if my plan to pick up an adult/subadult fire female works out and I can produce super fires in 2015, there's a good chance they will have spider on board as well.

    Although if nothing else I'll probably be able to see the spider in them by the head quirk if it's there.

    I was thinking the same thing, just with the randomness of the splotches they get, I don't know if the pattern morph would show or show they way they do with blue eyes. would be interesting to see.

    2015 we're gonna find out, then, because a female fire adult/subadult WILL be my next pickup! ;)

    I wasn't sure about this either, but it would be awesome for somebody to prove it.
