-- being that it is a gene that I have been working with exclusively the last 3 years.
Below is an recent explanation from another forum thread. There are some photos of Cajuns/Cajun combos in my gallery. I am excited to say that ALL the Cajun combos made thus far get better with age!!I will do an updated Cajun post with more recent photos ASAP.
The Cajun gene proved dominant in 08 from a captive hatched female. I proved it codom this year by breeding that founding female back to her Cajun Butter son. The clutch of 8 eggs yielded 3.0 Super Cajuns, 2.2 Super Cajun Butters, and 1.0 Cajun Butter.
Cajun Butter x Cajun "Mama" -- founding female
The gene is unrelated to any proven existing gene. It is both a pattern AND color morph that acts, so far, as a hypo gene that brightens other genes. It also created extreme striping and horizontal banding in the Cajun Lithium (Cajun Cinnamon Butter).
The Super form is a DARK, with an EXTREME black back and carries a black wash with can be seen more clearly on the Super Cajun Butter. This black wash is similar to what we see in many granites. I plan to do some further mixing this coming year to further see how it reacts. I have not released any of the Cajun project to date.
