Holy Hell, those are insane. I like the one on the far right in the 1st pic the best.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I am glad you are enjoying the pics. I took them with my $150 Kodak Sureshot -- outdoors, no flash, and no post-shot enhancing. I have a Canon SLR that I am still figuring out how to use. My point and shoot can't take any close-ups and is slow. But for color, which is what I was trying to capture, I can't be this little camera!!!

I had no idea what to expect from the CM color progression -- being that these are the first. The larger girl is aroung 250 grams and was about the same shade as the little girl as a hatchling. The male is 150 grams and has always been a little darker. He has followed the same color brightening/yellowing as his sister. I have a good chance to produce 2-3 more before the end of the year. I am curious about how variable the color and pattern will be.

I have a few choice codom girls picked out for him this spring -- if he is willing and able? We all know how that goes! There are also a few morphs that I will be avoiding -- as I am worried about them killing/smothering the Caramel color.

For those that may be wondering, I don't at all considerer the negative perceptions/press surrounding Caramels. I know of/have spoken with more than a few breeders that have produced 20+ PERFECT Caramels a year over the last 5-6 years. I am not saying they don't have any kinking issues. But, I believe the problem to have been DRAMATICALLY OVERSTATED. I do feel that said problems are genetic (not incubation related) and isolated.

I will post photos as these guys and gals mature. It is a very exciting morph and future project for sure!!!

Thanks again for the kind responses.

Wow, wow and wow

These guys are seriously challenging the lesser clown as my new favorite BP morph.

All of them are sweet, but the one furthest to the right is phenomenal ...
