Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if desert ghosts are compatible with other lines of ghosts such as orange ghost, yellow, butterscotch, etc.?

How many different lines of desert ghosts are there? I know that NERD has some but who else is working with them?

BTW, I think the codom (or dom) desert ball pythons are cool... which do you like better?

desert ghosts are as far as i know not another line of ghost, but a completely different morph...i copy from NERD "The Complete Ball Python":
"Genetics: Color mutation-single recessive in the first proven line. First produced: Mark and Kim Bell, Reptile Industries, 2003...The name Desert Ghost was coined to describe the fact that the snake is similar in coloration to a desert phase Californian Kingsnake with ghost ball fading"
am i right or it has since been proven that the desert ghost is another line of ghost?

If it was just another line of ghost I doubt it would cost as much as they do right now. Plus, have you seen the spider desert ghosts? I don't know of a hypo/ghost line that would produce something that incredibly awesome. The desert ghost is definitely more than just a hypomelanistic morph. I want one more than any other base morph out there.

can you direct me to a picture of the spider desert ghost?

thanks

Damian,
I saw that the spider was desert but the car was labeled desert ghost car.Is that car for sure a desert car or is the label on the site correct? If you look at the whole album..he does have a desert ghost.
Are you breeding straight up desert ghost poss hets or are you working on any desert ghost combos ?
Toni

Shoot! you're right! The caramel is a desert ghost, but the other two are deserts.

How did you find that pic of the desert ghost car? I have been wonderirng about the desert ghost car combo.
He also had some hypo black pastels.
Thanks for sending.
Love the desert combos.We will get our desert from Robyn soon.Cant wait to get my hands on her.
Toni

Hey guys the desert ghost carmel looks nothing like Mark and Kims Carmel Desert Ghost. I could be wrong it is labeled carmel desert ghost if so I apologize. But to answer your question Im working with a 100% het desert ghost from Prehistoric Pets that produced 4 females last year. The largest girl is just shy of 1000 grams and the smallest is about 500 grams so by next breeding season I know that at least one should go for sure. And shes the one that has the "markers" that her father has.

I did a search and found that same album and in the one I found the label on the list called it a car desert ghost het..so that is the difference.do you know where I could see the pic of the real deal?
Good luck on your desert ghosts.
Toni

there are two different morphs called one Desert Ghost, and the other Desert. they are not variations or lines of the same morph. i found these two pics of desert ghosts in the same album with the car desert ghost, havent found any desert pics...anybody?
