But excuse me if I'm wrong, that almost looks like the poorest attempt at photoshopping pictures I've ever seen.. The 2nd and 3rd picture look like paintings.. I'm sorry, but I'm just saying it like I see it..

These pics were not doctored. The one in the middle was a little overexposed but that was due to the lighting. The last one came out pretty good except he was moving his head when I snapped the pic. I will post a few more of him for you to examine.

Here is another photo of him(taken otuside in full sun). It was taken the day before yeaterday(now he is in blue so I can't take one of him right now). I in no way doctored these photos. This photo still shows his chocolate brown color with lots of blushing and his light colored head. Also, I put a pic of my little female that was taken at the same time as that previous photo using the same camera, lighting, & background(indoors).

I usually hate it when people do what I'm about to do and there are certain people who do it quite a bit...i.e. "boy, that looks like one I have", but it does. Here's a pic of my boy next to a normal. Other than the blushing and the fact that he is het ghost, there is nothing else special about him (no weird belly or anything).

Hopefully you'll prove her out...who knows. I bred my boy last season and got 2.5 out of it...nothing incredibly different about the babies, but I'll grow them up and see. What would be quite nice would be if the blushing might be a "het marker" for ghost. Who knows...but hopefully I will find out.

Good luck

LOL, my het ghost is the same, kick a$$ blushing. I'm pairing him with a normal girl this year and going to see how well I can guess at the hets from the possibles in the years to come.

It happens - some lighten some darken - no one knows just why - change of season - age, hormones (we see this alot with gravid girls), lack of something, over abundance of something, just cause - maybe it's like a mood ring - LOL. He's nice looking!
