    Adult Spector photo request..

    Baby Specters are light with nice orange/pink dusting along the sides. Most specter combos seem to have this same trait but they darken with age. Adult color seems to vary between specters.

    Does anyone have any photos of adult specters they can post? Preferable breeding age or older? I'm curious to see just how dramatic this color change is.
    Thanks!

    Im very sorry if Im stealing your thread, but I have a random question about Spectors. Did this morph start off as a dinker project for someone awhile ago? One of the most subtle morphs that makes awesome combos.

    Thank you Albey That is a beautiful snake. So light in color. I saw a picture of one that was so much darker. It had jet black markings
    with a much darker tan/beige base color. They all seem to have the exact same type of markings and pattern though.

    I wonder who the lucky person was that first discovered it's hidden gene.

    I don't think they would have started out as a dinker thing because they really do not stand out from normals aside from the fairly clean belly. I'm guessing it was a total accident. I'm sure someone just put a YB to their normal expecting to produce normals and YB but a surprise hatched out.

    It was Jared Horenstein (sp?) and if I'm not mistaken the first Specter was actually a female so your theory is probably pretty close

    I don't have any, but a friend of mine, John from JDConstriction has some. I'm too tried to go through the hassle of actually putting them on here, but here are a couple links.

    His adult male, I know he bred last year for sure, so he's not a baby, but can't tell you how old

    Comparison shot, him and a YB

    From his '10 season page, http://jdconstriction.com/2010Season.aspx

    You can pick out spector babies from normal babies. He had this picture posted on here when they hatched. Now as for knowing to bred them to a YB, total luck!

    Check out his pastel spector on his collection page. The spector is going to be another great enhancer morph like the fire!

    Wow, the pastel specter looks amazing! It blows away the pastel yellowbelly pictured right below.
