Toffee and Toffino Comparison pics

[paul begg]

Hi Guys, just wanted to share a couple of pics of a 2011 Toffee and a 2011 Toffino, that hatched a cpl of weeks apart.
As you can see from the photos the Toffee gene can produce 2 very different, yet awesome looking morphs.





Hope everyone's having a great season and thanks for looking!

Cheers

Paul

Hey Paul, thanks for posting the pics. How big are they?

[Slim]

I'd like one of each, please

I really like the colors, are they just albino mixed with something or completely different?

Thanks mate, they are both about 400g each and love their food

Thanks for the comparison! They are both really neat

[4Ballz]

they look outstanding. Any chance for a close up on the Toffee's eyes?

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, that's a very nice comparison shot. Are all tofinos lighter in color then pure toffees? Or are there not enough around yet to accurately judge that?

The toffee can be bred to the albino and produce toffinos w/out all the DH crap right? How does that work? I saw that Garrick produced a toffino from a het toffee to albino so the toffee and albino are compatible?

Yes, the Toffee gene is in the same complex as the albino gene--just as with mojaves and lesser platinums.

So, a Toffino carries one copy of each gene, and all offspring from it will inherit either an albino gene, or a toffee gene, when it is bred.

Albino and toffee being recessive makes the whole thing more fun and interesting, lol. Unlike breeding a BEL, you have no idea what the normal looking offspring actually are--they could be het albino, or they could be het toffee, but are definitely one or the other!
