    coloration on this one is really cool looking...it's still young yet, maybe just have to give it somemore time.

    looks to be a Met.Callainos/Cobalt Zebra cross, or an oddly iridescent form of either one of them.

    thanks for the info...if the light hits him just right all this coloring shows up. if he's not directly in bright light then he looks solid blue color almost like my socolofi.
