Xanthic is another name for it, I believe. But not one that anyone ever uses.

Yeah...I hear ya. I get really confused when people start attaching the "patel" label to every new snake that comes along. But the more you read and study, the more it starts to become second-nature. It just takes time.

I posted the same question on Kingsnake a few weeks ago and it seems that everyone has opinions, but no hard facts. Many thought it would produce a normal looking albino, an equal number thougth it would be a normal double het. Someone said that they produced a carmel from an albino and het pairing purchased from NERD. NERD said it was a random occurence, but who knows.

I thought I herd somewhere that it was thought to be fatal. The caramel albino X albino. Not sure but I thought someone tried it and they have yet to have any eggs hatch. Like I said im not 100% sure on this. Ill have to look and see if I can find the link to where I seen this.

See thats what i understood by the ad

[slartibartfast]

"Caramel" is short for "Caramel albino"...that's the full name of the base morph. It doesn't imply that the regular yellow and white albino is part of it.

Here is direct ad for a caramel albino . http://market.kingsnake.com/detail.php?cat=32&de=553904

I'd still like to know what the double het caramel + albino looks like. The general assumption is a normal looking double het from breeding caramel (aka caramel albino, aka xanthic) to an albino (aka regular albino) and that the double homozygous in the next generation would look like a regular albino.

But until proven otherwise we can't be sure caramel and albino aren't alleles and the double homozygous might look like a caramel.
