Awesome Jeff. That would make you amel blood het for anery. Well on the way to producing your own hypo granites!!

Thanks Ralph!,I have no idea what you're talking about but,it sounds good!! Jeff

Hey Jeff, a ghost is a combination of both the anery and hypo gene displayed in the same animal. You already knew yours was het hypo now it know that it is het anery as well since both parents had to have both of those genes in order to produce a ghost offspring.
Ghost is just another way of saying hypo anery.

Granites are a visual combination of the anery and bloodred gene in the animal. Some people call them anery bloodreds. With you addition of the hypo gene that little ghost of yours (wich is het for bloodred and amel)is carrying the genes needed to make a granite. It is homogenous for hypo and anery (ghost) and het for bloodred. Actually all of your hatchlings carry the ingredients for hypo granites now.

Go to southmountain reptiles web site to see a picture of a male granite. On his site it is called an anery bloodred. This one is not the typical granite but instead is an outstanding example but it gives you a good feel for what they can look like.

Thanks again Ralph!,Makes sense and sounds pretty damn good to me!I like nice surprises!! Take care!, Jeff
