Red irises? No, Ive never hatched a ghost with red irises (ie: eyes).
Red pupils? Yes, every ghost and ghost motley I've hatched has had red pupils.

The darker ghosts having a 'ruby' colour to the pupil, and the lighter ghosts having a lighter shade of red to their pupils.

If I had to guess, and I'm only guessing, your ghosts are just really light examples of ghosts and ghosts motleys/stripes.

Remember too that the motley and stripe genes have a hypo 'effect' of their own that could be influencing a lighter eye colour, and overall lighter colouration.

Is the normally patterned ghost you posted a hatchling from your ghost motley or ghost stripe lines? Ghosts het motley I've hatched from a ghost het motley to an anery motley het hypo have been lighter than any ghosts I've hatched NOT from motley lines.

Either way, those are some suh-weeeeet ghosts you have. Congrats.
