Opinions on this wild-caught morph?

brhaco Nov 10, 2010 09:36 PM

Here's a pic of one of our project animals-an import male. He's reminiscent of both a desert ghost and a hypo-but not quite right for either. Would be interested in hearing any and all opinions. I'm mating him to three normal females, which will at least tell me whether it's a codom/dom.

Looks very nice! Kind of like a vanilla ghost but no reduction in the black on its markings... I hope it proves out for you!

is it too soon to start taking bets on the super being a solid white snake?

I concur, looks like a fire to me. More pics would help, but the ghost look (without the right blushing) added with light color makes me think fire.

Nice looking one too!!

I already have a pair of adult fires, and it does not closely resemble them. I'm actually willing to bet that it turns out to be a simple recessive....

looks like a citrus ghost. i know gulf coast produced alot of these but Ian/Outback imported some too. nice snake. I have heard from gulf coast that citrus was compatible to orange but i heard the oposite from other people so i dont know who is correct.

chongorojo Nov 11, 2010 08:10 PM

Doesn't amir have the citrus ghost that's not a hypo. I think gulf coasts and Ians are a hypo and orange ghost compatible...? Idk either way I think Bs right on this one.. simple recessive not a white snake. Sexy looking boy anyway it goes tho!
