BEL Question?

[Derrick]

Thats a very interesting idea. Never thought of using a black light. I'll give that a try. Thank you.

That really is a tough decision.... If you do the BEL x Mystic, then what will you do with the other BEL? You know, you could pair the Mystic with both....?

[Derrick]

Well if I use the 1.0 Mystic with the 0.1 Lesser x Mojave then I would use the Super Lesser with my Special to make Lesser Crystals.

i found the video where i got the idea:

they really look different under UV light, it could maybe even be used to find out of BELs have any other pattern morph going on, like pinstripe or spider or clown or whatever.

I don't recommend breeding those two together unless one was a super mojave BEL. With at least a super mojave, you could tell difference between the super mojaves from the mojave lessers offspring.

How would you sell the offspring if you don't know what's in the genetics are?

The black light only works to ID patterned genes in the BEL.

I'm gonna have to try it tomorrow.

Thats been my thought as well. But that's why I was hoping there was a way to tell them apart before I tried to breed them.

Sir, you have a tough decision to make You either get 25% Lesser crystal and 25% Mystic Crystal or 100% BEL. (sorry, not telling you, brainstorming with you and laying it out ) Well... you know the BEL combo is 100%... but you could completely miss on the crystals, if the odds aren't in your favor..... I guess it depends on if you're a gambler.

This is very true. I've been kicking this around for a while.

This is a very good point! Thanks, I hadn't thought about this either!
