I was asked for some updated pics of the Pastel Orange Ghost male.......so, here are some updated pics.

Pastel Orange Ghost Male. Graziani Line Pastel with NERD line Orange Ghost.

Pastel Orange Ghost with some female Pastels 50% possible het Orange Ghost and a 100% het Orange Ghost male (who happens to be a black back)

The above animals with my Orange Ghost female (mother to the Pastel Orange Ghost male)

Pieds, Red Axanthic female and 1.1 Pieds

1.1 Pieds (male from 2001 and female from 2002) and 1.2 Red Axanthics (male from 2001 and females from 2002)

Last but not least some of my F2 Black Stripes. The animal on the left is a 2002 and the 2 animals on the right are 2003's.

Awesome!

That orange ghost pastel is awsome. And it's going to be very interesting to see what happens to the red axanthics in the coming years.

I love the pastel ghost! I cannot wait to see the red axanthic crossed with something, anything.
Thanks for the pics,

You have some of the most beautiful snakes I've ever seen.

Awesome Corey.

Would you consider breeding that pastel orange ghost to the red axanthic? The Pastel half of the clutch would be triple hets! I’m not aware of any triple hets yet. With two of the genes being co dominant I think people wouldn't be as shy of them as with three recessive genes. The offspring of a pair of triple het (co-dom, co-dom, recessive) have less than a 1 in 5 chance of being the normal phenotype.

Actually I'd also be very excited about triple recessive hets even though the chance of getting homozygous for all three is only 1 in 64 for each baby. The main reasons I’d be excited about high order hets is not the chance of producing the animal homozygous for all genes but rather the huge variety you should see in the clutch and the relatively small number of normal phenotypes you should see. With a triple recessive het pair the chance of each baby being normal is only about 42%. By the time you get to quadruple recessive hets you wouldn't expect even 1/3 of the clutch to be normal looking so even if you don't hit the 1 in 256 quadruple homozygous at least you get quite the variety in the clutch with 11 possible phenotypes if I'm figuring right and 2/3 morphs expected.
