Caramel - Northern Blue Tongue Skinks [DONE]

Hi!
I can’t seem to find the trait “Caramel” for Northern Blue Tongue skinks. I found a discussion from when Blue tongue skinks were promoted to a “top level category” and the trait Caramel was listed as well as T+ Caramel, but it seems only T+ Caramel was finally added? This is the link to that post: Blue Tongue Skinks traits - Category upgrade! [DONE] [1558] - #6 by solarserpents
Because of that, I often see people listing their Caramels as T+ Caramels.
Can you please add the “Caramel” trait as well?
Thank you!

I thought you already had that info since it was on the original list of morphs to upload.
I don’t really have all the requested information but I can try to find out if necessary…
Please let me know!
Thank you!

The original list was just a quick run through to get something in the database…now with the Morphpedia being active we want to get as much detail as possible.

For this one I wouldn’t say it’s necessary… But would be greatly appreciated! :blush:

I don’t own any Caramel, only T+Caramel, so I can’t provide any image that I own the rights to.
