David, that's crazy how much he ended up changing. I do like him in his current blue form as well though. It'll be interesting to see if he continues to change any more during his adult life. I think that you should get him back from your friend and try breeding him to some other stuff to see what pops out. Maybe try him with some of the calico x calico females that you've produced.

If Black Frost still doesn't show interest at the beginning of next season, I'd love to see if your interested in a stud service to pair him with Rain and/or Overcast for the season.

Ok, so it's been about a month and a half since I posted a pic of this green granite female (see beginning of this thread for prior pic). Again, she's cbb from calico x calico breeding. This is the lightest I've ever seen her and her blues and greens were simply amazing looking today. No signs left of any red or black pigments. And her head pattern is almost completely gone. She's quite a jewel IMHO.

Hey Ethan,nice female!

I'm curious if the metamorphosis will go on!
One of my WC females looked same like yours as I got her. She was already adult at that moment. After some years she started to change into a calico (you can see her on the pic)
But I know Tokays that looked like that which stagnate and never done the last step! - That's maybe what I added with the different types of calico - metamorphosis...

Black eyed tokay?

Best,
Georg

It's just absolutely incredible, Ethan, the changes that animal has gone through. I hope the next stage is calico, although in my opinion any one of the intermediate stages would have been just great too!

And nice powder blue Kita!

All of the calico x calico babies have gone through some changes. But none of them like that one particular girl. I'll be more than satisfied if she stays the same as she is now. And so far, none of them have ended up with black eyes like their mother. But only time will tell. I certainly won't complain if she turns calico. I'll keep posting updates. I really can't wait to breed two of these calico x calico's together and see what we get out of the second generation.

Kita, the new powder blue is very nice. It's amazing how much variability tokays can have on a day to day basis between their light colors and their dark colors. He has no black at all in his lighter pics, but in the dark pic, he looks totally gray...almost melanistic.

To each their own. And I think that most of us here fully appreciate the beauty of a "normal" tokay. But perhaps in a thread made specifically for tokay morphs is not the best of places to state your opinion. This thread was not made as a "debate" on tokay morphs but as a place where those of us that DO enjoy them to better understand the genetic potential behind them and coordinate our efforts. Certainly feel free to start your own "debate" thread though. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Also keep in mind that all of these tokay morphs are naturally occurring. So, they are as much "normal" as any other tokay IMHO and as far as we know so far, may well be a difference in locale or even different ssp.
