Re: These gene combos make what morphs?
A Special is a co-dominant gene that when bred to a Mojave produces Crystals. A Special is not all that much out of the ordinary as far as looks go, but will highlight anything it touches and, unlike alot or morphs, Crystals and Specials get better looking with age. The Super Special is insane!:P The Epic is a highlighter morph found in Crystal clutches explained here.

what do you look for to tell the special apart from a normal tho?
Re: These gene combos make what morphs?
My first clutch of eggs was from Pastel X Special. I didnt know what a Special was at the time and ended up with 0.2 Pastels. One of the Pastels (I held back) was clearly nicer than the other and later proved to be a Pastel Special. Out of the 5 normals, I had one Special, which I called a Halfstel... I joked around about how he tried to be a Pastel, but just couldnt quite make it.;) The reason I told this story was to show that they are easily identifiable in a clutch with normals, but maybe not so much when pictured alone.
Specials are quite a bit lighter than most normals... Their bellies are white with flaming running up the sides. They usually have blushing up their backs and some cool sort of spotting on top of the head.
Also, when breeding a Crystal, every hatchling is either a Special or Mojave, which leaves no questions.

maybe one or two lol how does that work? why wouldnt there be any normals? if it was a super special x normal or mojave bel x normal i get it but not crystal x normal. or is it somehow diff from a bee or spinner?
*edit* i worded that wrong i know super special x normal wouldnt make mojaves and all you know what i was getting at tho its early LOL
Re: These gene combos make what morphs?
Specials are on the same allele as a Mojave, which makes a Crystal somewhat of a Super. The Crystal cannot reproduce itself when bred to a normal, but every baby is either a Special or Mojave.
Re: These gene combos make what morphs?
almost like the Platnium Gene? it cant reproduce itself?......BTW thanks for that normal female and the yellow belly .........picked them up from you in vegas.
