Purple haze is a just a fancy name. No different that a purple.

Is unconfirmed so probably just a marketing gimmick.

The purple haze is said to produce all purples when bred together, no other line can say that. Thats what I've read, so is this true. So what does that mean usually some are lavender and some are darker purple, don't know much about this.

I know when the purple haze are breed together they will make all purple. I plan on breeding my normal female haze with a supertiger what would the % be on getting a purple haze tiger?? I've been looking around and there doesn't seam to be any purple haze tigers or supers. a supertiger purple haze would be one damn good looking animal

the purple haze, is just a fancy word breeders use to make the purple version of the clark strain albinos seem and sound more appealing. it is thought that the only way to get purples "for sure" is to breed a showing purple albino to a showing purple albino. the clark strain (which is where purples derive from) come in 3 phases: white, lavender, and purple. you can breed any combination of the 3 and get any combinatio of the 3. for example, you can 2 white phases together and get all whites, all lavenders, or any combination of white, lavendar and/or purple. but supposedly you have to breed 2 purples to produce all purples. but you can breed 2 whites and get a some percentage of purples, but purples are not guaranteed in anything other than a purple to purple breeding
