Even my untrained eye can see that the two normals are on the top row. The furthest one to the left and the furthest one to the right. It's a subtle morph, but I think they look great. The whole key to them will be to see if they can produce an animal that looks like the one in this link. Phantoms
It looks good to me and I really hope they are, but the only way to be sure is to wait and see what the homozygous animal looks like. Of course once they're proven, the price will probably go up.

They're beautiful! I like the one in the center front! Please be sure to post pictures of them as they grow!

Wow, I must be some kind of loser! I still couldn't pick em out, even after your "untrained" eye found em for me!
Re: It's Raining Mystics!
My untrained eye says those look exactly like Phantoms.......:confuse:
:rofl::rofl::rofl:
Congrats on the new Mystics. May they prove out to be "Super"!!
Re: It's Raining Mystics!
Look for the slightly wider dark pattern. As it widens near the belly it fades out in the center (called "flames"). Also, the smaller alien head light areas on the sides between the wider dark pattern tend to be light bulb shaped and only have one eye instead of the bigger ET shaped alien head often with 2 eyes. Not sure how common this is to the complex but I notice that one eye tends to have a halo around it in the mystics in this clutch. Also the yellow has more of a pale straw color, particularly on the back. Not that I'm an expert by a long shot but I did have some trouble picking out the normal that wasn't the obvious one on the left but I think that's just that it's in the back of the pic and hard to get a good look at. Are the belly clear of dark in the mystics? I saw a new girl prove in the white snake complex last year that didn’t have a clear belly but I think most of the complex has that.
Re: It's Raining Mystics!
They really look great Dan! Any idea of how long before someone proves then out as the same as Phantoms or not? I would think someone should be close this year. Never mind I just read one of your other posts about it, next year huh?:(
By the way anyone that doesn’t know Dan, he just happens to produce the best-looking Calico’s on the Planet. His Pastel Calico’s are the stuff dreams are made of.:gj:

I will second that, and now it wont take so long to find his sight now that he is here!
Dan welcome to this sight.
Re: It's Raining Mystics!
Dan's Calicos are DEATH!!!!;)
Re: It's Raining Mystics!
I guess it's a gamble, pay the high price for a mystic and hope it proves out a super..... or if it doesn't you got completely snowed.... IMO of course..... :D
