Orange Ghosts: better in person?

Wow, those POGs are hot!
I am at a weird standstill in my BP life. I have bred and will sell the Pastels, but the proceeds will not be enough to get into my two favorite morphs: pieds and clowns. Yet I am reluctant to get into hets, because I will readily admit, I am impatient! Unless I get two subadult hets.. and maybe an OG, an albino or even a mojave to pacify my need for a new morph.. then I need a het albino to go with that if I go albino or OG.. See, I got my Het OG from an iffy source; actually my fiancee bought him when I was not there, and I have no proof that he is a het. If I sell him, I will fully disclose this to the person who's buying, and I actually have an interested potential buyer in the area. If I was for certain that he was a het, a female OG would be a defininte consideration..
Sorry! Just thinking aloud.. I have no one else to talk morphs with realy. Mark is good about it, and he likes the same morphs I do, but this is my thing. In return for listening to my babbeling, I will give advice to anyone who is also in a standstill at this time.
Definitely on the table for this November: Spider x Nomal.

Yeah, you really do have to see the Orange Ghosts in person to appreciate how gorgeous they are. I'm with Adam, though, they are all better in person, lol!

Sprocket had a baby Orange Ghost at the last expo we went to, and it bit Jeff several times. It was like that "Dirty Jobs" where Mike kept getting bit over and over by that one snake, totally hilarious. But yeah, I wanted to take that snake home soooo badly. Jeff wasn't as keen on that idea :confused:

All I can say is.... the sooner you start on recessives, the sooner you will produce the visual morph from those homo/het breedings and more hets.... not exactly advice or even a good attempt, but that's the way I see it!

Yup, it may be that the time you (or at least for my case) can finally afford a visual recessive morph, you could have bought two hets and then raised them up and bred them myself. So if the homo is out of your reach, then go for the hets, a couple yrs is worth waiting; especially for some of these awesome morphs out there!

I know. I have dreamed of adding a Pied to my collection; I thought it was a given regarding the direction I wanted to go. Now though, Mark and I are both smitten by Clowns.
Decisions, decisions!

If you make a honeybee you should be able to get a clown and a pied. So go for the ghost!!! I know I am!!!

i started off with just a spider and a pastel to make bees, then i brock gave me a het ghost male, and now i need to find a female for him. this way i'll have visual morphs my first clutch (spider x pastel) and i'll have a pair of hets cookin as well). from that i can go into honey bees, killer bees, and so on. just takes time and a little luck with the hets. good luck on whatever you choose to do.

another quick note, with the way co-dom prices are slowly dropping, i think recessives will keep their value better, since the odds are harder.

Agreed 110%

When I saw a bee up close, DANG! I have yet to see a ghost, but I am sure its spicy. :D Maybe VPI will will bring me one to the show. :hint hint: I think I should make a list for them..lol.

Here's my orange ghost Kaspa I got last year in Daytona and she is a hotie! This year she's over 1100 grams and I'm looking for a boyfriend. The orange has died down a little but they are still my favorite of the ghosts. haven't seen a cinny ghost yet does anyone have a pic? An orange ghost cinny must just be awesome! Yes they do look better in person.
