Salmon Ghost

That champagne is awesome! love it!

oh, and I titled this thread salmon ghost b/c of one that Walter has listed as such and I'm in love with that snake.

This thread is giving me a headache..

Thanks! As, I think, someone said earlier, I don't believe (so far) that strawberry or hypo A is more dominant than the other. They're simply allelic so they will take on an intermediate appearance when (+straw)(+hypo-A) as opposed to (+straw)(+straw) or (+hypo-A)(+hypo-A).
i.e. no 'hets' exist as long as that specific allele is double gened for one of the above traits.

Thank Tara! I developed a brain cramp!

My female is quite as intense pink as my male, I'd say about 85% as intense looking at the most intense parts. But Jeff told me the line gets better and better each generation anyway.

Maybe I'm gonna buy me a microscope to take a look at my ghosts scales to see if they are homo hypo and/or strawberry.

Being co-dominant, means that you can see the effects of the gene as het, like Diffused. A Het RedCoat has a slight coat of red color and homo RedCoat are the intense RedCoats I have posted photos of.

I believe Champagnes are homo RedCoat.

Ok adds to the confusion lol If is co-dom like this how much red would you say is a slight coat? I personally do think the gene is more apparent when combined with amel and ultramel from what I have seen here. Is just a guess since I am new with the gene. So if this is all the case about it being co-dom it would make the gene far more prevailant in the gene pool. Such as the breeding I did with it last year to an anery with no apparent signs of the gene. I have three breedings with the male this year an anery stripe, a pure hunt club, and a normal het diffused, sk, amel to compare results and outcomes of red in the offspring. With last years clutch none of the snow and aneries are showing signs of even het with the gene while all the amels, the ultramel and some of the normals have varrying degrees of red to them. I am going to borrow pics of these to make the comparisons with for now. First up is the ultramel female, then amel male, then thier sisters of the clutch. So am I way off base on this or am I looking at something else?

Here is the picture of the normal in the third picture at 2 months old November 10th 2011


Here is a picture of her the other day March 10th 2012

Would one of you please post a photo of a neon?
Thanks,

I did Dave, back on page 1 of this thread. Marsha (Poppycorns) has the best for comparison.

Marcia also has apparently ID'ed 3 or 4 different "red masque" mutations, just to make things more complicated. Don S sez she'd be a great mind to pick but is very busy with life...
