Okay, I know in ball pythons, ghost and hypo are the same. In boas they are not, I have a hypo (salmon) and know the diff between the two. I'm not very familiar with the genetic color variations in rats and corns.



I purchased a 'hypo yellow rat' at Daytona. I think I bought it from BHB but I'm not sure or I'd ask them.



I see the beautiful 'hypo everglades rat' in the pics below. Those are glowing orange beauties. Today, on a website I saw what they called a 'ghost everglades rat'. It looks just like my little guy.



Mine is pale cream yellow with faint grey stripes.



So what's the difference between ghost and hypo in ratsnakes? I'm happy if mine is just 'a light colored yellow ratsnake' LOL! But would kinda really like to know.



Thanks for your input and education.
