Got a few pics that came close to catching the sutle coloration of these guys. What I need to do is get them out into some natural light! First pic is of the female. She has a definate med. peach cast to her. The second is my male who is coming into his color more with each shed.

After you and I did the test breeding of my hypo brooksi to your male Blaze (and proved the naysayers wrong), I decided to get some Blaze. I attained an adult trio that will be ready to breed next year. Since they have been in my collection I have become fond of them and appreciate this really cool morph.

Here is one of the Blaze Phase X Hypo Brooks babies. It just ate its first fuzzy, and a very large one at that. The others are taking multiple pinkies at a feeding. These are nice little Kings, I can't wait til they get some more size on them.

...interesting to me that the light bands are so clean and without any "speckles" or whatever.
Are all Blaze like that??
What exactly qualifies a Blaze? Is it the generous amounts of red and/or the very light, bright bands??
Cool looking and keep the pics coming.

Great question! Blaze is supposed to be a hypERtheristic (as in more red) morph but in breeding them I feel they are more of a hypOmelanistic (less black) than anything else. That the original "blaze" were smoking red was only because they came from a "hi red" project. To the point, the male, has a solid dark slate grey belly. If it weren't blaze it would be black. As for split scale coloration on pattern interspaces, its their but just not as pronounced as on a normal goini. In my experience with hypos of other species the trait makes its effect most known in the areas we concider ground coloration. Beings that interspace is a fancey name for ground color, lack of or missing split scale coloration doesn't come as a surprise to me. Others see it as a sign that Jesus is coming! LOL
