Remember when you are breeding Normal to Normal that there are 4 copies of the Normal gene in play. You can only see what is represented in each of the parents but that may not be what the other copy is carrying. If I were to pair a Lesser to a Yellowbelly and were to get all Lesser YB's, which would indicate I only got copies of the morph genes from the morph parent, there could still be considerable variation in the coloration and/or patterns.
Isn't this Hobby neat?
