Volcano corn project...pics

I know there are a lot of new people on the forum here these days, but some of you might remember a heated debate a couple years ago about someone up here in Canada breeding what he called Volcano corns. He claims that the original specimen was wild caught, and simply exhibited extremely high amount of red coloration, but was never deemed to be part of a bloodred (diffused, whatever!) line. The trait was never deemed to be recessive or codominant, or dominant, and he simply stated that the offspring portrayed differing amounts of red, more so when it was homozygous, but still some when it was heterozygous.
Anyway, I was curious, so I bought one. My boyfriend calls him Eduardo. I should ask him if I'm spelling that right...

This is Eduardo when I first got him back in 03:

this is his belly back then... it hasn't really changed...

Here's Eduardo now:

And this is his date for this spring:

Am I the only one curious to see what their kids look like?
