Some of the cal kings that have hatched this year. All of the are either hets or possible hets for recessive genes besides being what they are.

I think the light phase Ghost that you got from me last year was the best one yet.

That's the first Purple Passion that I have produced from the line that I started from scratch. I hope they all come out like that!

Straight up Lavender that came from double het parents (Lavender & Hypermelanistic). So it is also possible het hypermelanistic.

Yes, they do keep the lavender look, although like most cal kings their colors do change from babies to adults.


I kept this one from 2009


And I sold this one from 2007, probably should have kept him....but you can't keep them all.

Should have been a normal looking cal king....it is definitely a double het for Lavender & Ghost though.

Thanks, I only had 10 clutches of cal kings this year. I was expecting 30 clutches, but I was gone for awhile during breeding season (World Taxidermy Championships).....so next year I am planning on some more cool stuff and lots more of it!

Kerby... Aug 28, 2011 12:03 AM

Actually, it is a possible double het. Both of it's parents were double hets and it's sibling is the Lavender Ghost (Pink Pearl Ghost}.

Definitely different, but just a possible double het. Didn't want to mislead anyone.

I didn't go last year either. Lots of people through the doors with no intentions of buying anything. Lots of people walking out of the doors with nothing in their hands.

I am a fan of the Caspers as well, but last year's Coral Ghost (Hypo Ghost) are really nice, and then this year's Pink Pearl Ghost (Lavender Ghost) are my favs as well. We shall see what they turn into.
