I'm not jumping on here thinking I have the next new thing, but I wanted to share some pics with everyone. I picked this guy up earlier this year from a local petstore. He was very under weight, heat rock burns on his belly, and in need of some TLC. After talking with some friends, we are thinking it may have been some nutrient deficiency, but this guy has some coloring like I haven't seen. I've tried to capture it as best I could in these pics and have thrown a normal in the shot for comparison. He has put on alot of weight and I plan on breeding him next year and going from there. Let me know what you think!

It's one of those instant change-O-matics. It will gain pigment back, but still won't look normal. Their are a few theories as to why it happens, but no one has come up with anything conclusive yet.

That's pretty much what we were thinking as well. But, what the heck, one more project isn't going to hurt me!

I have 2 proven desert ghosts. Your snake looks exactly like mine. Check out NERD's site. The dead give away is the faded head pattern/color.

Hopefully he proves out for me! Thanks for the response.

Clint

very unique looking . maybe a calico desert ghost . is it genetic incline or is it a freak of nature. I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK ON THIS WILD CREATURE.

Thanks! Time will only tell...

...NERD's "Chemical Ball".

Or the "Jester Ball" (Albinos Unlimited??)...

IIRC, they are still both unproven.

Or have 'het Jesters' been produced??

I can't remember for sure. It's late, and it's gotten to be impossible to remember every mutation. lol

Bleach and sandpaper are not good for your snakes! lol. This animal is a knockout in person. I'm hoping it proves out too....I'm going to trade some male pastels for some.
