That just looks like a hypo to me. Why do you define that gecko as a ghost? What's the difference?

A ghost is just a very pale looking hypo. Ghosts came from Ray Hine's orginal WC hypo geckos before he crossed hi-yellow and tangerine into them.
Thanks

K&N defines Ghost as a Hypo Pastel. Yes, it is decended from early Ray Hines line Hypos prior to being crossed with Tangs.
If you look at the K&N Misc. page you'll see some really nice pastels that do have patterning. Those are siblings of this guy.
Nicole at K&N states that the hypos in this bloodline breed true. Hypo x Normal = 50% Hypo. Hypo x Hypo produces baldies. According to her. I will find out for sure this coming season. Even if it doesn't breed statistically true, I work with pastels and snows so this is still an exceptional animal for my collection.

We're also working with this gene. We purchased a female from John Bechtold last season that came from the original group of 1.3 that Ray brought over for him in 99. The two pastels listed on K&N's misc page at the top are also in our collection now. Combined with our snow, blizzard, and super hypo groups next season should prove to be very exciting.
