GHOST QUESTIONS.....................

ajfreptiles Oct 15, 2006 06:19 PM

This is really wild! I had been taking some pics to ask some questions about this boa...and when I came on here....you were all posting and talking Ghosts! Cool!

Here is my question....
The 2 boas in the following pics are brother and sister...I am wondering from the experts....because although I have a Ghost male...who is breeding right now...and I do know what Ghosts look like....I am wondering if this particular animal may be a Ghost? He is very unique, but just does not fit the typical hypo look....
Is it possible he could be a Ghost?
If yes...why?

If No....why?

Thanks for any help or imput on this. Andy Federico

there's red pigment in that boa. It's just very reduced. Therfore not a ghost.

Beautiful boas!

Thanks Ryan, I appreciate all comments...it's just weird how this guy looks...if he was a Ghost then that would raise too many other questions as well...so I know it's just something I have to breed...but thought everyone might enjoy the pics anyway. Thanks again, Andy

Hey Marc, how are you? What do you have cooking? I have a couple gravid, and some males are woking on a few more....hope all is well.....Hey what do you think about those boas I just posted? I was going to post pics of my breeding ghost with that one in question but I just did not have the heart to pull him off her...lol....but they look like twins, and I know the breeder is a Ghost...but this one has me boggled!

I also think its a hypo, but a real nice clean light hypo. Just like my normal, is it or not? The tail on him is weird looks much different in person but here are some pics.
