Hey Hollander, are you out there? I've always been a ball girl but have recently gotten into boas. I've purchased a female boa double het for ghost. I'd like to know what type of male or het for something I need to make morphs and what offspring my female can produce when paired with such male(s). Thanks!

Welcome to boas! They are great snakes!
Find out from the breeder which of the two anerythristic mutant genes he has in the double het ghost. Then get yourself an anerythristic or het anerythristic of that type. If you get the wrong anerythristic, you won't get any ghosts or anerythristics.
A ghost or DH ghost could also be used but would be more expensive.
Anerythristic X DH ghost -->
1/4 normal
1/4 anerythristic
1/4 salmon
1/4 ghost
Het anerythristic X DH ghost -->
3/8 normal (66% probability het anerythristic)
1/8 anerythristic
3/8 salmon (66% probability het anerythristic)
1/8 ghost
normal X DH ghost -->
1/2 salmon (50% probability het anerythristic)
1/2 normal (50% probability het anerythristic)

Hope that helps.
