AbsoluteApril- Thank you for that information. I will greatly appreciate any additional info you share from your breeding experiences. Can I ask who you purchased your breeding stock from? I have not seen many caramels for sale (or even hets).

Paulh- That was mentioned on one thread I saw... Something about vitamin C or iron I believe, but I could be remembering it incorrectly.

Trisnake- Thank you for the information. I had seen the candy / toffee morph as well, but it seems that not many of those are available either (and as you stated, for a lot more money). I am not sure about ultramels, I seem to remember reading somewhere that they could also have the same kinking issues, but again, I'm not sure.
