To me that morph looks like a variation of a Mojave , which would seem logical since a Mojave was the sire.. I didn't see a Phantom like tendency in the sibling babies either so I am not sure it is a Phantom type gene your working with.. It is a good sign I think to see the "dog bones" and "hooks" running down the back , however I have seen snakes that end up to be just pretty normals that have some of that going on as well.. Like I have said before seeing things like this on the dorsal area is a nice thing to have , but I don't think it automatically means it is a Phantom either, a very important thing to remember I think.. I'd continue to linebreed them and see what you get , it may not be a phantom in the end but could easily be something genetic worth working with just the same, only by breeding it out will you know!
