A friend of mine has produced a few of these, the pic is crap, but you get the idea.

It would seem that it is anerthristic or xanthic or something .Very expencive.

It is a beautiful animal but is no way worth 25k. I've seen similar black n white gilas in other collections. I serious doubt its any definite color morph anyhow. The other b/w gilas I've seen started out light colored n the yellow faded to white with age. Lets see an albino or a true leucistic, pied....Then we can get out he big bucks.

This isn't the same one in the classifieds. The black and white ones produced by my friend start black and white and stay that way.
Don't know what they are worth, don't really care, it's not all about the money, sometimes it is just about a nice looking animal

That is without a doubt a beautiful animal. It may be the lighting or camera but I see a hint of color in there so its definitely imo an extreme version of a light colored animal and not a morph lacking the GENE for some specific pigment....Thats all I was saying. Most likely I'd buy that animal for the right price in a second no doubt shake my piggy bank. Its not at all ALL about the money but when you're working with animals of this value n caliber n you see adds with similar animals for $25k; MONEY becomes a big factor. Some of our animals are priceless. I got a fortune in my colonies and really don't have any plans for profits yet but I'm real patient n stubborn fairly young....

Personally, I have several high color flourecent pink n orange gilas from Dr Seward that IMHO are worth more than that black white animal or the 25K one popin around the classifieds. Have you seen the animals with distinct multiple tones of color in the patterns? Those are my favorites its just a personal preference though...I'm biased though of course! Anyone wanna throw down for some serious high end animals, get in touch with Dr. Seward. You'll never be disappointed. 95% anything comparible out there came from his stock anyhow; what I've been noticing. I'd certainly give those b/w gilas a great home here though! lol

Peace
