I've just joined and am in need of some help...

I see there is a little red lock beside the pet colors I have chosen. If I click it then it turns green, does that mean the colors cannot change through breeding and other random happenings? Also when I choose a mutation or gene to be carried that does it mean it has a chance in the offspring? If I choose a color for that would it show up on the offspring the same color?

Sorry about the question overload but as I said I'm just off the newbie wagon, would like my first pet as perfect as I can get it. :P

I think I set it up right. :/ I locked everything down.

That lock button is just so that if you click the "Random" button previewing sylesti it will not change that one thing. So if you really want to say make a female zolnixi, or you know you want a certain set of genes/colors you can lock those few things and then hit random until you get some inspiration.

Edit: So just to clarify, it has no effect on your pets ability to pass on colors/genes. It's just for preview and design purposes.

Ahhs ok thank you. I did them all anyways just to be sure. :P
