Cool thing about Calicos is low white will produce very high whites...

I think they will be much cheaper in the future and higher white.
I hope.. :D

Wow, those are smoking hot! Seems that i really am not the only one that loves this morph. Still cant help but stare at those pics. I really dont get why they are still so expensive though, can understand the high white examples but very few are what a person would consider great and they are still super expensive. Especially for a dominant morph. But this is definately gunna be on my to get list soon.

And is there really a difference between a sugar, calico, or the bubblegum? or just different names from different people that made them.

Calicos are still VERY rare in collections. The other reason low whites are still expensive is that they poduce high whites, just like piebalds. There will be some price difference in low vs high whites, just like in piebalds, but not much. To me Calicos are cheaper than they should be... Very few of us have breedable animals... Plus we still have no idea if there is a super form and the only thing they have been crossed with so far is a pastel. It is a very new and exciting morph!

Sugars are a European line, they are the nicest in my opinion. Problem is a lot of people in the states are calling theirs Sugars to sell they better... TSK , Pete K and Doug Beard are the only ones that i know of who have produced Sugars so far.

The Bubblegum was 1 particular animal that Ralph brought in from africa (she passed away from liver failure) so really there is no bubblegum line... just another marketing stategy...

Thanks Jon,

Have learned more this afternoon than two days worth of searching about them. Is anyone still trying to prove out the super form or has it pretty much been given up on?

I'm pretty sure, but not completely sure, that it shall reveal itself this year if not the next...

Just think a sugar mixed with one of the following...

Clown
Albino
Lesser
Mojave
I am sure I could go one but don't want to drool anymore on my keyboard :D
