I would guess she was a hypo lav to, but i'm not sure that she sheds clear...i never thought to check that before! in ghosts there tends to be faded bleeding between the yellows and darks...and there appears to be very little if any bleeding in Gwenevier...still very sharp and contrasty without the blended ghost look, so i would guess something more along the lines of axanthic, burgundy, or some other lighter colored morph that mutes yellow, but maintains dark pigments? but maybe she is a regular ghost with the hypo coloration minus the bleeding like you see in some "high contrast" ghosts?

we originally thought she was just a really cool lav with faded yellows, and an emerald caste initially....there was so few adults around even a couple years ago to compare her to...but now that more have been raised up, and no one has anything that looks anything like her, it seems more and more that she must be a double morph....she is definitely a one-of-a-kind animal that happens to throw normal looking lavs!

...the fact that her babies are not faded at all...and as high contrast as they come...with the typical glowing bright neon orange of hatchling lavs...it is getting harder and harder not to believe that she may be a double morph...

if she is a double homozygous morph...that would mean that all the offspring of her homozygous sons bred to normals would be 100% Het lav and 50% het "Gwenevier Morph."

There were several females in the clutch...we may have a lav codom out of Gweneviere to put on them by the time they are ready to breed...imagine a brand new baby or CB adult "Gwenevier Spider or Pin!"
