Years ago I read some threads about some het ghosts shedding clear like homozygous ghosts. So when I picked up my het ghost male from a breeder with a fairly large ghost project it happened to be cleaning day so he went through his cages and sure enough found several of his hets had clear patternless sheds. The het male I bought did have pattern in his shed but was rather bright. I bred him once and almost exactly half of the babies where noticeably brighter than the other half. Unfortunately only one of the bright ones was female. She was the only one I kept and bred but sure enough she proved het ghost. So, not much of a sample size but maybe het ghosts tend to shed clear and/or be brighter colored animals.

I'd love to hear more about the het clowns. I own a huge 1996 VPI produced female presumed normal that is nice and bright colored.



I suppose that was way too early for possible het clown FEMALES to have been sold as normals but she did produce a very interesting looking daughter once that looked a lot like some unusual het clowns that where posted. Just on the chance I sent her off this winter for her 2nd attempt at breeding with a clown male (no eggs the first time, 2003 I think it was). She has been a sporadic producer but has produced as many as 13 eggs the few times she decided to go so if both she and the long time bachelor clown male both feel like it this year I should know one way or the other.
