I came home from Tinley Park Sunday night to find this hatching. I bred a pastel het ghost male to a normal female.
From five eggs I got 1.2 66% pos het ghost pastels,1.0 normal, and a little girl pastel ghost. I would have been very happy with just 4 out of five pastels. My plans now are to breed her to the Circus ball in 2007 if all goes well. This clutch was pure luck. We do have a seven clutch that is from the same male and a ghost female due in two weeks. Hope to see a boy in that clutch.

thanks for looking Jim

possible hets and a normal?

Because Mom was a het too.So that would make it a het hypo x het hypo pastel pairing.(hetxhet=homogenous or 66%het offspring)

Too lucky! lol
Congrats!!

my question and his post.

He said the mother was supposedly a normal.
He wrote out the sexes of the offspring
1.2 66%ers
1.0 normal
I was asking how would he know which is which? And if he knew which were which he wouldn't have 66 ers.

Obviously the mother is 100% Het Ghost.
The offspring would be:
0.1 Pastel Ghost.
1.2 66% pos het Ghost Pastels.
1.0 66% pos het Ghost.

yeah that's a given. It still doesn't change the fact that what he wrote didn't make sense. Here it is:

"From five eggs I got 1.2 66% pos het ghost pastels,1.0 normal,"

So really he got 2.2 66ers, 1.2 of which are pastels.

I was just asking how he got the "1.0 normal"

Jim was excited and made a few typos that's all.

How about that nobody would be interested in buying a possible het ghost male so he just went ahead and called it a normal.

If you read closer he got 1.2 pastels that are 66% possible het and 1 normal. The normal of course is 66% possible het as well.

Man, you are lucky.
I hope to get a nice surprise like that some day.
Hey, is it me, or do the pastels in that clutch look on the light side?
Are there odds that het. ghost pastels are lighter?
Just curious.
Would like to see pics of the dad.
Thanks
