Hey bud,

The parents of the Black Gap locality clutch below and the male in my last post are both normal looking 100% Het Anery/Hypo animals. They were produced by Dan Johnson and can be found on his website.

WOW MIKE....Is that first one pictured a ghost or is it a hypo?
I would think the orange on the nuchal would be gray like the anery if it were ghost....

I did not post as ghost John.. I think maybe Doug thought the hypo was a ghost??

Here is another hypo.. with only a couple of freckles of orange on her neck..

I know you didn't...LOL....Especially after I asked....Hehe
And after that last picture.....Now I want some.....LOL

BTW...what does a true blue ghost look like?
Do you have a pic?
I know there's a leucistic, hypos and aneries.....
I think a hypo black phase (Xmas Mtn. crossed with a hypo Black Gap) would be cool looking but of course they would lose their locality and be generics.....
Even an black anery.....

I hate when that happens!(tucks tail in embarrassment)..LOL!
