Green Ghost

[sueb4653]

When I was transferring the ghosts to their new enclosure I found that I have a green ghost and maybe another one that is also going to be green,amazing what good lights will do

sorry the pics are lousy though

So more light makes them more likely to become green?

I am under the impression that genetics has something to do with them being green as well because I've had cages that were pretty dry and still came out with green ones. Meanwhile I've had cages that were fairly well misted that had some really brown ones as well.

My conclusion to all of this is that beer heals my pains.

I have 3 different green colored females from bright green to like a chocolate-mint color. I'm just hoping they keep the colors they have.

no what I meant was the better lighting I could then see the colors

The second on that is kinda greenish is like that spottled with brown

there is also so very dark browen and almost black ones

will be interesting to see how they grow and what color they retain with each molt into adulthood

My iPhone is my only camera, but I too have a completely black ghost. Agent A sent it to me, and it's my favorite. I hope that it stays that black.

Mime you must get a picture up even if it's just your phone.

Green ghost are my favorites. It's one of those cool genetic mutations.

 

[patrickfraser]

Here's a pick of one of my black females in the past. Very dark and looked charred.

 

[Mime454]

^^^Wow! I like that better than green ones!

 

[sueb4653]

[brancsikia339]

Wow! Never seen a real full charcoal ghost. You're lucky!

 

[fleurdejoo]

I guess I'm getting old but two of mine look black to me.
