Take 5 super pastel females. Breed a het clown to them. Tell me if you can pick out the pastel het clowns.
Do the same with super lessers BEL.. Tell me if you can pick out the lesser het clowns...
Do the same with a het pied to a super cinnamons. Or maybe to super Mojaves.
Anyone ever seen a lot of het tristripe combos? TSK actually started to remove poss hets bc it was too obvious to identify them. Made selling them for cheaper than hets not a brilliant idea.
Picking out the hets in these clutches, would be a piece or cake for me, you or anyone with BP experience.
As for breeding them to a normal, I noticed you don't see the same heterozygous affect on a normal versus with another mutation. That's why I gave examples using supers
Lately, I've actually been hatching colorless het albinos that color with age.
Is this confusing to some, probably. Has it been this way for years? Yes. But I personally think our eyes are becoming much more advanced when identifying these mutations.
I'm not saying lets go and rename these to inc dominant morphs, but I'm definitely more open minded... How do you think a lot of advanced breeders shorten double recessive projects? I know I can in my own collection.
Remember, analyzing possible hets are easier when comparing multiple siblings, that are identical. Hence why I mentioned supers above. Having the comparison makes identifying quite simple. If you want to argue that, I'd suggest you try it first because you would surprise yourself.
Interesting topic, thanks for posting.
