RE: breeding for recessive traits
Well, lets take the example of your Snow Cream with genesis Earth. If it doesn't have another eye hidden then no amount of breeding with other eyes can give you anything but gen Earth.
In my example, Daviel is also gen Earth with no other hidden eye as far as i know, which is why i use the only sure method possible to put a different eye onto this coat.
The only ways that one can get a specific recessive eye out, or any eye for that matter, is to have an even more recessive eye either shown or hidden on the partner, or the desired eye shown and/or hidden on BOTH partners.
And this goes for all trait slots too.
Now lets take the Exotic Breeze eyes for example, which we believe to be to top recessive (or True Recessive as we call it), at the moment.
There is no known eye that is more recessive, so to obtain it showing on an offspring one partner must be showing it and the other hiding it, or both partners hiding it.
If hidden on both partners it's also recommended to have it behind two different shown eyes as if the more recessive shown appears instead of the Exotic Breeze then we can know for sure that Breeze has been passed on to hidden but if the more dominant shown appears we can be sure that it hasn't.
If both shown eyes are the same and they don't produce Breeze then there's no way of knowing if Breeze has been been passed to the offspring.
Sorry if this is still confusing but as i don't know you yet i cannot adequately adapt my explanations to your thought processes.
