on this guy, I guess maybe some would call this a vanishing stripe, but I think he is turning out to be quite nice looking, and the best part is he is he has a very calm disposition and is dog tame. For some reason I think of the old laghy taffy when I look at this snake, I think pinkish purple is a cool color on a snake don't you?

You are correct: Ghost Stripe.
He contributed to producing these last summer:
Third Eye
very nice clutch, lots of variety with the amount of stiping and some with lack of, I assume you are holding back the ones with the least amount of stripe showing to selectively breed for a completely patternless snake?
I think this spring I will breed that male that i pictured which is a lavender stripe het hypo to my female butter(66% het stripe) which will produce some quad hets possible penta hets, with some being stripes if she proves out to be het stripe, and if so only hold back the stripes with the least amount of pattern to be bred in the future.
By the way Tim do you know what lavender caramel or lavender caramel stripe would look like or if its been done, do you have any pics?
Thanks

Jeff,
I've heard people talk about lavender caramels, but I haven't seen a photo of one. It's possible that they don't exist yet and will be produced for the first time in 2010 - or maybe someboby has made them and I just haven't seen them yet.
You guessed right, I'm trying to selectively breed the striped ghosts for reduced pattern. I'd like to acquire reduced striped patterned hypos, anerys and normals to breed my ghosts to - thereby making some additional "patternless" morphs.
There's always breeding projects to pursue with corn snakes!
Tim
