This one has me perplexed...

Does anyone have any ideas.....? I bought it from someone who also had no idea...

Anyway...if I was to guess, I would think some type of Lavender ghost...but please tell me what you think...

Thanks Andy

I can't swear it of course, but I would guess an Amber (Hypo Carmel). But with so much variance from corn to corn... who knows!?

it's possible it could be amber or maybe even a ghost het caramel but if you look at the picture more closely you will see that the yellow saturation is throughout the entire photo and not just the snake. In other words, that is not a true representation of the snake's colors.

That's a good point (yellow saturation). I think we all agree it is hypo, but whether it is also carmel or anery is questionable. Nice looking snake either way. Guess some breeding runs will be needed!

I totally agree with Jimmy. You make a snake look like two totally different animals by changing the lighting. I think if the snake had its picture taken outside under natural light, it would look ghost.
Ghosts can range from a dirty/brown gray to a pure light gray and then also to a dark/almost anery gray.

At this time, with those pictures, there really isn't anything about that snake that would suggest anything other then ghost.
We could be wrong but it would take better pics and parental information to help us help you..lol
