Ghi Ball...along with something special.

Ghireptiles Feb 15, 2009 04:05 PM

Here's one for the books for me. In 2008 I found out my pet project balls were a dominant morph. Here are pics of one of my 'Ghi Ball' adults and some of the 2008 offspring.

Adult

As babies in the spring of 2007, the Ghi Balls looked just like the babies below...really black. I love they way they lighten and morph into the animal above.

Offspring from Ghi x Pastels

And one of my Pastel Ghi Balls 'Mr. Tude'

The GHI Pastel cross reminds me of a Black Pastel.

Cool combo....
Congrats on the GHI Ball proving out.

I think the combos with pattern morphs (Spider, Pin, Woma) will be the most impressive of all.

Congrats again.

matt,

I've loved that mutation ever sense I saw your first pic. Grats on proving it dominate. I can't wait to see what it still has in store!

Matt, congrats, thats a very cool new morph, besides the obvious dark color that morphs to silvery, I think it is interesting what the pattern is doing, the aliens look like they are melting upwards or as though looking at them in one of those crazy, curvy, circus mirrors. Reminded me immediately of Edvard Munch's "The Scream"; a famous painting.
Good luck with future combos, can't wait to see what that would do to a spider and combos, ie. the "Heebie Ghi Bee"

Matt very nice. To me it looks like you may have found a true genetic Jungle/Jaguar. It's been tried for ever but kinda looks like you hit it.

Congrats
