Caramel VS Ultramel

Stick to the ultramel. I know they're like way more expensive, but gosh they're beautiful and without kinking issues as of yet. Can you imagine how heartbroken you'd be to hatch out a clutch of fatally kinked snakes. I had one snake die in my last clutch, of unabsorbed yolk. I bawled for days. First clutch people....first clutch.:oops:

Why taint a perfectly good gene with Caramel?

Couldn't have said it any better myself :D Love my Ultramel. He's going into all sorts of great stuff this year.

I prefer the caramel myself, but I am a little biased since I am working towards a few caramel combos. As mentioned above there are some nice caramels and some nice ultramels. Yes some caramels tend to have kinking problems, but not as bad as some people make it out to be. I also do not see it being no different then spiders and other morphs with issues. If I had to do it all over I would probably add a few ultramels and start a separate breeding project, but would still keep the caramels going since they still do have great potential. I think honestly work with what you would like to work with.

I like both but can't afford either so I can't take sides. But then again I like almost all ball python morphs.

I too prefer caramels

Spiders live fine with the wobble. That can't be said about most kinked Caramels. I'm sure more Caramels have had to be put down has hatchlings then Spiders.

Plus Spiders don't have Fertility issues with females.

The only point I was making with spiders is there are other bp's with flaws that have been accepted in the hobby mainstream. If we were to let a wobble or other issues stop us in the beginning I do not think we would have the diversity in morphs we have today.
