this is Logan ive had her for two years now. when i bought her at my work (petstore) she was a normal looking ball untill she changed colors after a few sheds. and everytime she shed her side spots joined together! madness! lol. i sware she knows that i want an albino so i guess she tried her best to make me happy...lol. shes perfect for me. i love her coloring and her personality! shes healthy and eating like a pig! if anybody else has an "IMG" or a "BLACK AND WHITE" ball please post a pic cause im still learning about this. but i do know that they are rare and that shes the 11th img ball...so someone told me...
here is a picture of Logan with my female Snickerdy to show you the difference between the two.

Aren't you the lucky one

This is my "presto-chango" female,that I hatched out in '04.I've posted her on here before,but this is a recent pic.Wish I could explain how this works,but...?!Anyway,she's a product of my Hypermelanistic"Super Tiger"(for lack of a better name!) male to a normal female.

very beautiful! did she change colors after a few sheds? Logan did and in a period of a month she went from looking normal to completely black yellow grey and yellowish brown. im not sure yet of how this works or what makes some balls change like this. no one that i have talked to can explain it. im diffenitly curious about it though! if you know more please let me know. thanks for your pic.

Hi, did Logan look like the 2 balls on the left in this picture when he was a juvenile? Does anyone know about the genetics?

Best regards

OH MY GOD YEAH SHE DID! here ill show you a pic of what she looked like when i first bought her. all of the people who have img balls should get together and do some serious "PROJECT ING" lol. very beautiful babies you have! keep me up to date on the changes that they make ( if they do make changes) and let me know when they shed if their side spots join together because thats what logans did. some of her side spots turned into one big blotch.
