This snake was in an egg destined to go bad....I knew the potential in the clutch to see something cooler than average so i left a damp paper towel on it and somehow saved it. All the others hatched out fine and though I cut this one early it hatched last....actually a day after the last sibling left the egg I manually removed this snake which is half the size of its sibs. Needless to say I am babying it and it is already feeding.
So.......the Hypo, Axanthic and White Sided genes have been proven from this pair.....so...what is this [besides really cool!]????



Sorry for the poor pic quality, I am nowhere near finished unpacking since coming home from Daytona.

Well,,,,Jason showed me one at Daytona that he was certain was a Ghost and mine looks just like it. One reason I still hesitate before naming this is due to the fact that it went through those unusual conditions during incubation and hatching out so small. Sometimes preemies look weird, and as I mentioned this egg probably would have dried up if I didn't go the extra mile hydrating it....small miracle there if you ask me. It's neat though huh?

HI Tom

Ahh yes a beautiful Ghost you have there. The other one you had is probley an Axanthic, that is posted below on that other tread. My Axanthic where much darker then yours, we should have compaired I guess and there are from the same linage.

Great looking snake Tom, too bad all it's color is faded out, I guess you get defective snakes from defective eggs...........
