    Or do you end up staring at a pile of hets at some point trying to work out who got what?

    it all started with purchasing a group of 100% hets from five different breeders each of which were five different established lines. i also purchased a male Caramel 100% VPI-NERD and i hatched out my own 100% TSK Caramel male from a pair of 100% TSK hets.

    then it was a matter of combining two lines to produce a male. then when he was old enough i bred him with another het female from another line. it is a matter of each year taking steps towards adding more lines together which produce more combined line Caramels. the hets are very important not only because they are out bred from other breeders collections but also because they are all different lines of Caramels. the combination gave me a group to work with that was already out bred. this allowed me to not need any more hets but instead holding back certain Caramels to fill in the gaps to combine the lines. it is a work in progress.
