Has a crystal ever produced a normal or only mojave and special?
That wouldn't prove that mojave and special are alleles but it would fail to disprove it.
The special mojave certainly is the complication. Maybe they are a red herring. Some other gene or just really nice mojaves.
I think the “hidden” mutation that turns a lesser into a platy is also in this complex. Seems that there is some variability in how the different versions react. Special seems to lighten more than hidden and also to have an effect when homozygous (unlike hidden). Also, phantom makes white with lesser but dark homozygous. Even if special doesn’t turn out to be in this group it’s plenty interesting.
I don't even want to fathom a guess, but I would like to congratulate you Tom. Well done. It appears that you have bred the Crystals into some very intersting projects.
its purdy and soon to be mine (I wish ) I will show you all I will make a new morph and name it the awesomeness cus it will be awesome. lol. And there will be a super form called the super awesomeness. lol.
Nice breeding Tom. I'm just north of you in central O.C. Way to represent BIG for the Left Coast. The dam of those hatchlings does not look like any Mojave I have seen, and therfore, might in fact -- be "special". Congrats! Can't wait to see them after a shed.
