those are cool and ive seen tom stevens as well which i beleive is from your stock, why is it called ghost?and not axanthic? if a ghost is bred to an albino are snows produced? seems alot is unknown about these traits or maybe im just outta the loop ,,,,,,,,,thomas davis

Well its kind of different then most colubrid genes. I have done a lot of work with this bloodline, including outcrossing and many other crosses. The Hypo gene is co-dominate and get stronger when line bred. With the Hypo gene being co-dominate it accually skips a few color morphs cause of that. The Hypo gene being co-dominate, means the hypo gene is in every morph so you get Ghost and Blizzards. If the hypo gene was not in every morph you would see Snows and Axanthics too but those morphs get skip cause the hypo gene is in every thing. I hope my rambling clears up some questions.

I have to agree,,,,,that this Hypo is extremly influential in this line of morphs. Though it is not typical, I produced 24 babies from a Ghost X Hybino pair this season and got 9 Hypos. Tom Stevens

Hey Tom

Yeah the Hypos are kind of ugly ducklings and as adult they turn yellow to peach orange with chocolate blotches with a touch of purple.

That is a stunning snake! Unbelieveable the colors/patterns these snakes can produce.
