This came from double het parents (Ghost & Hypo) and has a sibling that is a Coral Ghost (Ghost Hypo). Looked different as a baby and still does today two years later. Next year I will be breeding it to a Coral Ghost....we shall see...

That is pretty cool looking! Do you have pictures of the parents?

Here are the parents and the grandparents.
In 2006 I bred a male Hypo to a female Ghost (het albino).
The clutch pic is that result....all double hets (Ghost & Hypo) and all possible triple het (Ghost, Hypo, Albino). There were some "purplish ones in that clutch. I kept the whole clutch.
In 2010 I bred 1.1 (bottom 2 snakes in the picture) back to each other and produced a Coral Ghost (Ghost & Hypo) as well as this oddball female.
So it is not a Hypo, it is not a Ghost, it is not a Coral (Ghost Hypo).....just a possible double het that is weird looking.

Wow, thanks a lot, Kerby!!! What's really interesting is how you got babies displaying the SD striped gene (SD striped aberrants also) out of that Palomar Ghost. It just goes to show how it is tied in with all those phenotypes found in Carlsbad. That's why captive breeding teaches us even more than what we see in the field. Thanks!

I had a Cal king that looked like that I got from Andy barr about 15 years ago. I gave that snake to the late Rick Trenny who was supposed to breed it to other cal kings.

Nice Kerby!.....that's a great looking transition shot with it being in a very similar position in both shots too.
