Coral glow breeders recommendation
I had a coral glow enchi fire breeder lined up I was going to buy for the upcoming season, but he seems to have decided against selling it. I would like one with good bloodlines that stay bright, anyone have suggestions of where to look for a 3 genes male?

I wasn't aware that there were really huge differences in the genes. As far as I know there are only 2 real lines and hence why they go by banana or coral glow but are essentially the same as they didn't prove out different genes.
Being that it's a dominant/co-dominant gene I have to assume the only factors that muddy the color would be the underlying genes.
Just food for thought. I'm sure anyone selling you a snake can show photos of parents.

I have to second this. The most GORGEOUS coral glow I've ever produced came from the same coral glow male that produced my drabbest/lowest-quality coral glow. So, even though both babies had the same coral glow father, they had different mothers, and that made all of the difference. The nice one came from a high contrast albino female, and she passed on some incredible genes for yellow/orange coloration and sharp contrast. The ugly one came from a dinker female that I purchased years ago because she looked like an axanthic (in other words, she had very LOW yellows and low orange underlying her natural pattern... in retrospect, not the best traits for a coral glow).
Mendelian traits such as "Coral Glow" don't require a ten-generation pedigree to be beautiful animals... they just need to look beautiful... you can see exactly what you're getting, and you get what you pay for.

Price range? What morphs do you like/not like. I recently got a nice banana spinner because it had genes I still wanted along with not having pastel (I already have a female super pastel). There are lots of nice banana bumblebees out there too. If you have a higher budget I've found a coral glow enchi spinner for 550, I'm sure they'd come down on that price too, it's been listed for a little while.
