The temperments are calm just like the eastern and brooksi kings are.

The males get bigger than the females which seems to make them take off on the floridana more.

I have one well started female left so if anyone wants it let me know.



These all lighten up as the grow a little:

They also threw these black and white versions.

Are you starting to see any Brooksi influence (speckles) in the black and white ones as they grow?

That black and white hypo looks unreal! Please post pics as it gets bigger.

... I have a very similar one (in looks) to the little black and white hypo. Mine has a nearly completely white belly. Yours?
Also, if it is black and white and a hypo then do you not call it "ghost" because of the eastern genes??

I am not sure what the black and white gene is (melanistic, axanthic...?) in the normals. So I am reluctant to call them Ghosts being that a ghost =axanthic/anery X hypo.
