Obviously she has dark pigment, but her sheds come out totally clear like ghost ball pythons. According to Kevin at NERD, the orange, butterscotch, yellow, and even green, I believe, ghosts are just the same trait with color bred into them. Something along those lines. So, if she has genetics similar to a ghost ball as well, possibly I can do something along the same lines as what has been done with Ghost Ball pythons. When she was born she stuck out, I'll put a pic up here, she's the orangish one. In my opinion, most ghost balls don't do much for me, but combined with pastels and other morphs, they make amazing animals. Possibly something like that can happen here. If nothing else, she'll be able to produce albinos during breeding trials. Hopefully it will turn out to be a fun and worthwhile project. I think the "boawoman" hypos are something similar, and I believe they also shed clear, but I'm not certain. Since the only other boas I have that shed clear are albinos, who knows!
