Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I'm trying to gauge the investment value of this morph. What do you guys think the fair value is for a

Breedable male desert ghost?
Het males?
Het females?

Do you think that they're a better investment than the codom/dom deserts? I think they are since they are a recessive trait.

Anyone on these forums working with them? I'd like to know how your projects are going.

Thanks

Not easy to value a morph that is not abundant on the market, any Desert Ghost will hold value much longer then dominant Deserts.

I'd go for the Desert Ghost, the dominant Desert will be a dime a dozen within a few years.

I've seen them for sale from the Bell's and PP for $6,500 for 600 grams animals. Male and female.

are deserts dom or co-dom?

Deserts are either codom or dom, it should be proven soon if they have a super form or not.

But I agree with medusah's statement on desert ghosts being a safer investment than the deserts.... since deserts are codom/dom, people with males will be able to produce visuals sooner than not.

i agree, just wanted to know if anybody knew for sure if they were dom or co-dom.

Does any one have pics to compare the desert to the desert ghost? I've seen the desert ghost but ive never even heard about the desert?

nice snake rojo... looks like a desert ghost? where did you get it from? male or female?

to see pics of the deserts, go to pro exotics' website and they have a bunch of photos there.

Thanks I love him to death, as for what he is I have no clue? No one that has seen him has ever seen a ball like him. I bought him as a captive hatch and his yellow is insane and his blacks are like ink and he has a white belly. This will be his first year being bred so we will see if its genetic this year unless its a recessive. As for being a desert ghost I don't think he is cause he is so yellow.

Desert and desert ghost ball pythons arent the same thing.Also i think the going rate for desert ghosts is about 5k a piece

Is that for babies?
