Green adult Ghost males

[ismart]

Just wondering if anybody has ever had an adult male green ghost before, or has ever seen one? I have only had females that were green as nymphs, and adults. I have yet to see an adult male that is green. If anybody has a pic that would great!

I haven't either. I wonder if the green color morph is controlled by a certain gene/s... like male pattern baldness in humans, only exhibited by females in this case.

Never... although I have slightly greenish pre-sub males now. But it is basically impossible to get a male as green as a female can be.

I currently have a L4 male right now that is pretty green. I was hopeing he would stay that way. I guess i'll just have to keep my fingers crossed .

If he does stay green until adulthood, it will be interesting to see the color distribution of his progeny when you mate him to green females!

Well, so much for posting a pic of my L4 green male. He has now moulted to L5 and is a light tan color. Don't get me wrong i'm glad he moulted out okay, but i was really hopeing he would stay green . Maybe some of the other males will turn green if i'm extreamly lucky.

Well, sorry to hear your male "browned up." I do wonder if anyone worldwide has ever had a green adult male. I'm thinking probably not... but you never know! Hey, try this Paul.... Put him in a cage by himself next to another P. paradoxa male who has unlimited tasty selections of food, and is having the time of his life with a really cute green female P. paradoxa. Maybe the jealousy will help!

It looks a bit greener in real life, but still...

Wow, Kruszakus!!!! I'm impressed! He IS green. You'll have to let us know how he turns out.

Very nice Kruszakus! I really hope he stays that color when he turnes adult. I'm trying to raise the humidity on some of my males and hopeing for the best.
