Albino x Caramel = ?

Please don't say double het lol
ok, what if we breed those double het together and hit the odd...so how do you think the homogyzous form of Albino Caramel will look?

I might be talking crap here but they're T- & T+ Albino, so I guess both gene will cancel each other out and the homo form will be...........normal? :D

Anyone out there already make this combo???

yea im pretty sure theyve already come up with a albino caramel... I think I saw one for sale on king snake

an Albino x Caramel albino would likely look like a regular albino. The T+ gene which mutes and distorts melanin, would be negated by the true albino's lack of melanin, and therefore look like a normal albino.

Joe, that link appears to just display regular Caramels, not Albino X Caramel.

I would have to agree with this. The eumelanin and the melanin are being played with by the two different genes... I dont know how the caramel affects eumelanin, but I would assume it's canceling out black, and leaving red, yellow and brown. I could be horribly wrong...

Jess Im pretty sure joes right and that is a caramel albino... heres a link to NERDs site and their caramel albino.

Isnt the caramel's name actually 'caramel albino'?? It doesnt mean its been crossed with an albino.

"07 Possible Het Caramel Albinos"
It sounds like he's selling possible het caramels, and the pics are of the parents...

The confusion comes in the names. The full name of the caramel morph is "Caramel Albino." But it's still separate from the common albino gene we're all familiar with, it's just a name.

I agree with the belief that a double-homo Caramel Albino AND Albinio would produce a snake that looked like a plain Albino, although there may be some subtle difference. The thing is...the chances of an "ordinary" looking albino after all the effort it would take to produce a double-homo means that no one (that I know of) is really trying.
