and the light one next to the dark one:

I almost think the light one is a tipped up Ghost...but I'm not sure...opinions?

Hey Rusty!,....you've got some great lookin' stuff in that pile!, nice hypo's and some nice light ghosts too, especially the one.

That ghost/anery in question is a tough call. I've seen some super clean, light anery's that could pass as mediocre ghost's, and vice versa too.

It will be more discernable when they shed, look through it's shed skin real closely through a good source of light, if you don't see any melanin tipping, chances are you certainly have a ghost. I also noticed it had slightly lighter dark rings anyway, so it should be more evident after everyone sheds.

Normally the shed "test" thing is a good indicator of a ghost, or not, but I believe Joe Exposito had a very heavily tipped ghost that did leave remnants of the tipping pattern on the shed, these are rare exceptions though, and I'm betting yours probably does not leave any visible tipping pattern, but who knows for sure.

later!, ~Doug

yep I remember Shannon telling me the same thing...I'll have to try it out.

I'll also try and get some more pictures in a few days...and maybe it will be more clear then.

Thanks Doug!

Very nice

What type of albino is Dad? Also the last group shot bottom left is a faded looking normal is he a certain color mutation?

Thanks

Xavier
