I want to make a copy/clone of my starter pet how can I do that?

I'm unsure if you can, maybe look up a similar pet in the search bar and ask the owner if you can breed your pet with theirs I'm sure most will do for a good Price.

Since a starter pet is simply a two trait pet (or 4 genotype points I believe), a mystical or enhanced essence of the species you created could do it.

They are both available from the diamond shop, though you might be able to buy one from the trade broker, and I *think* you can occasionally (as in very rarely, close to never) find one while nurturing pets.

both those will allow four genotype points, which means two visible traits or four carried, with the mystical one being very accurate with colors, and enhanced being mostly. if you do get color swing with the enhanced, you can always fix it by using lesser pet dyes found in the scale shop.
