What morph is this?

dmasio13 Jun 30, 2012 02:38 PM

Ok people Im going to post some pics of these animals I just hatched and Im questioning the genetics. Sorry for the bad pics they are from my cell phone. Ive been working on this project for almost 5 years to the day. Please give me any input wish. The small amount of blood in the one pic is from the baby after it hatched still had a small bit of its embilical still exposed. So one gene to me is pretty obvious but if you look at the other hatchlings and compare the 2 morphs I think I may have hit on something extra. After getting some opinions Ill post another thread with other pics and what the genetics should be. Ive been dealing with snakes for about 10 years and am not a true newbie to breeding and gentics but Im puzzled and am really looking forward to any and all input. Thanks in advance Damian Macioce

Looks like you have yourself some ghosts of some sort. (Hypo)

Caramels.

Here's the update so I bought the Het desert ghost from Prehistoric Pets 6 years ago so when the caramels hatched you can see there are 2 not like the other same with the "normals" I got in touch with Jay Brewer at Prehistoric Pets and he told me that he thought I hit on the double recessive desert ghost caramel albino but that I should get in touch with the Mark Bell. So I told my buddy Jared Carr who knows Mark and Kim very well he told me that he thunks its the desert ghost caramel albino to contact Marks brother Jeff. After calling Reptile Industries Inc and leaving a message for Jeff he called back in about 30 minutes. We talked for about 30 minutes or so he told me to send him all pics I had of my 2 clutches this season. And come to find out from the man that has seen more desert ghost morphs than anyone I hit on the double recessive twice in one season but the one from the first clutch died very near hatching so did its desert ghost sibling. Jeff explained that they produce a lot of 100% Het this possible Het that but that its 100% evident after 3-4 sheds there will be no double t they are what he said. So from my 100% desert ghost to 2 of his offspring I hit 2 double recessives. That means those 2 possible Het girls are now 100% DH desert ghost caramel and I have 11 other opportunities with the original males offspring. I'm ssssssooooooo excited I'll post pics as they shed I got from this most recent clutch 1.0 desert ghost caramel albino 1.0 caramel albino 66% Het desert ghost 1.0 desert ghost 66% Het caramel albino 0.1 desert ghost 66% Het caramel albino 2.0 66% double Het desert ghost caramel albino
