here are a few pics of one of my favorite males. he's a semi stripe CH 07' Ghana ball. when i first saw him i said to myself he's mine and i'll pair him up with a YB!!! his black is just like a black sharpie marker, looks like someone went to town on his back. he has some nice floaters with no black in most of them. his head is a bit like a Cinny's head, that light brown. he's very clean and very nice in person, it's a shame i take lousy pics with my camera.

here's another question that i will be proving out this up coming season, another CH 06' Ghana ball. she's very light, almost Fire type light. She doesn't have that light mark on the head like most all Fires have so only time will tell from breeding.

when i first got her she was +/-600g, she's 1200g as of date. i hope she picks up another couple hundred grams before breeding season.

the best thing i love about this female is her belly!!! she has a prettier belly than my spider and pastel. her blacks are jet black, and long her side before her belly is a nice yellow fading into the white of her belly. i'll let you be the judge.

Nice looking female I agree , but 100% NOT a Fire Ball.. The color, blushing on the sides (or lack of), belly markings and head are off for it to be a Fire.. Actually not sure it is a morph at all, it may end up to just be a Pretty Normal.. If it is a morph it's a morph I have yet to see, which we all know that is possible, new morphs are still out there.. Anthony McCain..

AJ,
well time will time. she has that light touch to her which clearly stands out alongside a "normal looking ball" but i am sure she isn't a Fire either. her babies will be for sure easy to pick out. if she turns out to be nothing special i'm sure she'll act as a cleaner for other morphs at the minimum.

i've never seen a "normal looking ball" with a belly like that, have you?

i responded to your post on the first thread i posted. when you get a chance can you post some pics of your founding "Mystic" female. i'm really curious to see what she looks like compared to my female.

AJ,
I have to say your pic of the babies look identical to RD's babies he posts in his Birth Records. Dude i'm really happy for you, you've proved him out so far, not sure why i kept thinking your founding stock was a female though. However you are only half way on your quest......question is will they produce a super? Have you tried? or are you trying to build up some combos before you go down that road.

Now i have a question for you........you said yours was an import, but from where? Ghana i'm supposing. What was your reasoning why you named him "Mystic"? Yeah you're right about them looking like an ugly Mojave. I'm glad you see my female promising, since you have already proved out something that looks very similar. Should mine prove out, i'm not sure what to mane her? It kinda makes no sense to name what is a Phantom another name if you know what i mean?

I'm happy i found this female as this will cut down some time in proving her out. And yes, "Great minds think alike" i specifically bought a Lesser to prove her out on. But still got another year to go so the Lesser will be popping her cherry. She's sitting about 700g now, next year she'll be ready to go. If she produces a BEL or a son like her in theory i should be able to breed her again the following season and prove her out once again for a "Super".

I have 3 x large eggs out of this female, I'm hoping she proves out I'll see in 25 more days or so. She looks like a lower grade Mojave in person. She was bred to a Yellow bellie. What do You guys and gals think of her.

Most of the "low grade" or wanna be Mojaves I see pics of are adults. So my question is, has anyone hatched out any CB Mojaves that look low grade? I have only hatched 3 Mojaves out, two crosses and one stunning female, so I have not.
