Don't even get me started with your "banana boat" brooksi....

Actually, that's a pretty cool looking snake. I'd say congrats, but this is the Rosy forum...hehe. But remember, a one off doesn't always mean it's reproduceable. There are several examples of single aberrancies that were never reproduced. Now, ghost has been used with these (or similar form of) Rosys already. Nobody came up with, or is promoting anything new in that regard. Maybe just trying to define it better in relation to Rosy Boas. And I called the President of herpetoculture and he couldn't find the regulation/statute restricting the use of the term ghost to aformentioned genetic combination only. Although, with other Colubrids I would tend to agree with you, but we're talking Rosys. There is nowhere near the available standard/common genetic morph gene pool base to utilize with Lichanura. But it's still just a "coined" name brought to you by the makers of the wonderful & wacky world of Corns. It's the damn corn morph union that started all this, and they think they control it throughout the snake world....lol. BTW- where's all this white your talking about. I'm still waiting for "true" white to show up on a Rosy. Light or very light silver/grays and nice pearlesence yes, but no real white (yet.) Now, explain hypomelanism in snakes that naturally exhibit no expression/use of melan.
