we were told that our corn was a ghost, but after a few sheds he seems to be keeping his lavender / peachy colouring. We know his dad was a ghost and his mum lavender but we dont know any hets. Any guesses
thanks |

Very nice little corn...
I cant tell if she is a Lavender or a Ghost but here is my thoughts, hope you dont mind...
If the parents were Ghost and Lavender with no known hets you would just get a clutch normals, het Ghosts, het Lavender.
The male would have to be Ghost het Lavender to produce any Lavenders, or the female would have to be Lavender het Hypo, het Anery to produce Ghosts in the clutch which would be het Lavender.
The breeder (i would have thought) would have known this so would have told you the hets of the parents.
Someone please correct me if im wrong as i aint no expert and still learning...

Cheers Piers...
I know it doesnt help the OP with their initial question but I started off just trying to say the breeder would know if there were any hets... |

| It looks like a ghost. Most ghosts have a peachy kind of hue to their otherwise pale colouring, sometimes even in adulthood. Very pretty, I love him. |

dazb dont mind your thoughts at all, appreciate the help
unfortunately the breeder, who happens to be a friend of mine is a bit surprised by how he is looking as this is the only one in the clutch that has got the peachy /lavender colouring. The only het he is aware of is motley but that wont help (i dont think). Bonus though he has asked to borrow him when he old enough to breed from.
Blackecho and GP thanks |

In that case... your welcome...
Ask your friend if he had a mixed clutch of morphs or if they were all the same. Will help in working it out. |

Thats confusing me then...
To get Ghosts from a Ghost/Lavender pairing the Lavender would have to be het Hypo, Het Anery... but that would only give you a 25% chance per egg of being a Ghost. The others would be 25% Anery, 25% Hypo and 25% Normals het Ghost.

It is probably just a very nice one...
Like i said above it could only be a Ghost, Anery, Hypo or Normal which you wouldnt get mixed up.
It could be a Lavender, but that would make the the dad a Ghost het Lavender which would produce a clutch of Anery, Ghosts, Hypo and Lavenders (25% of each) with various hets. |

Hi Gmac.
Sadie's mum (or dad, I don't remember now) was a Lavender as I recall but she's nowhere near as peachy as Hades. What a lovely looking colour he is.

thanks BB,
just to find out what, if any the other morphs were from the clutch as he may only have told about the ghosts. |

errrrrrrrrrrrr 
its a flip up I think, between a colourful ghost (Pastel) or a lavender ghost.
the 3 hets that pop up the most often (that aren't known about) are amel, anery and hypo, so theres a good chance the lav parent is het anery and hypo.
There is also a good chance that the lav parent is homo anery, a lot of UK lavs are ;) |
