Caramel Albino vs. Hypo Butter?

[southb]

Ok, the pictures are the reason I probably can't tell the difference. I also had another question reguarding the caramel. Has anyone seen the episode of Snake Bytes (can't remember which one) in which he shows an adult caramel named kinks that was kinked at birth and grew out of it! I'm sure if it's on that show it has to be true. The cool thing was he showed a baby made by kinks that was kinked as well and he said it would grow out of it. Is this true?

Well he can't know for sure. However this is why I won't work with Caramels:

Yes I've seen this video as well. But as I've said before out of 14 babies I've never had one. I guess my luck is better than his.

Regarding the "growing out of kinks", every once in a while you will have an animal with a SLIGHT kink or 2 that will grow out of it into adulthood. But if you think about it that doesn't mean that the kink is gone...just means that the kink is no longer visible. I'm sure if you did x-rays on the snake you'd probably see a different story. And even if they did grow out of it and it fixed itself, its still a flawed animal and I wouldn't breed it cause there could be things that we don't see that could be a health risk to the animal or offspring if bred.

No that's because you've only hatched 14...lol. Very happy to hear you've not had any kinks yet but you can't say it'll never happen. That'd be like someone breeding a pastel to 2 normals and getting 14 pastels and saying that their pastel produces all pastels.

How many of those 14 babies were caramels? The kinks tend to only affect the visible caramels, not the hets.

[southb]

All caramels more than that if you count hets hatched.

I looked at my records and I've had two all caramel clutches. One with nine eggs and the other with five. The first two years I hatched sixteen 100% hets.

[Watever]

I saw both next to each other at a show and they didn't look the same.

I really love the Caramel, but the butter (lesser) hypo is also awesome. That last one is more "glowing".

Caramel Glow are also aweseome

Imagine what a Butter (lesser) Caramel Glow would look like !
