Only got two babies, but both look healthy and alert, which is the main thing for me.

that looks more like a two headed/neck snake. Gotta keep that one!

Hmmmm, look pretty too. That's a plus Congrats.

Does that look a lot like the Lightning ball? Or Thunder? The non Super one.

Hard to tell by the pics.... is it Co-dom?

Thanks - Kev

Good job! Fun to do something like that!

Kevin,

I was seriously thinking the same thing. I saw pics of Tom's Thunder or Lightning, cannot remember which is which, awhile back on this forum. After I posted my pics, and saw how they came out, seriously, the first thing that came to my mind was Tom's new Ball. I bred the female to a Ghost, a Bell line Orange Hypo, and got 3 eggs that hatched, one did not make it, but looked just like the two that did. I am assuming it is simply a Hypo x Hypo breeding, but with just the three eggs, it is mearly an assumption for now. I am probably going to breed the female to a Pastel, or Spider next year, something with no Hypo gene at all, and then breed a male from that breeding back to her, which will tell me what I need to know genetically. Anyways, thanks for the reply, and will you flip me a bunch of #@#* if I call it a Toffee Hypo

Taht is not a bad name!

That is NOT a ghost...that is a Co-Dom or Dom animal.....

You hit it and they are also Het ghost since you bred her to a ghost....did you get a male?

Thanks for your replies Kevin, I am no Ball morph 'spert. When you say "That is not a Ghost." Are you refering to the babies, or the adult female? You said that the female, adult female, must just be het for ghost, and you could be right. Pic number one is of the larger Hypo adult female, that is "supposedly" the mother of the Hypo that laid these eggs. When I bought the original two females, there was a ghost in with the two females, the trio supposedly came in from a "breeder", or someone who just put togather a nice trio of Balls. So, if the larger Hypo female was bred by a ghost male, producing the female that laid these eggs, producing the Lightning look alikes, she would be a het Ghost, based on the father being a ghost. Pic number two is the "daughter" of pic one, and pic two is the female that produced the babies in pic three-father of the babies being a Bell line orange Hypo.
