I think she is a ghost...I just got the shed today...she does not belong to me but I have the breeding rites I suppose. This kid and his dad bought the snake 8 years ago in a pet store. The shed looks clear to me...I am bringing it to Daytona and I am gonna show it around and get some opinions. What are yours? Look at her huge eyes!!!

I do not think it is a Ghost. Looks like a normal Ball python to me. Also, you will not be allowed to take her into the show. You proably will have to stand outside of the building to show her to any of the other herpers in attandance.

Well as I posted the picture I figured it was waste of time becuase the picture looks nothing like the snake...I found it at a show...the kid was walking around with it on his shoulders...the guys from ASF saw it and the guys from Next worl Exotics saw it...and as I said I do not own the animal...I meant I will bring the shed skin with me to show around.

The picture sux...I would describe the sides as more of a grey/white. The picture shows it slightly brown. I have the shed and I believe it to be clear...does not look like any shed that I have ever seen.

Direct from the NERD website their description of a DESERT GHOST
"This ball has a spectral appearance with exceptionally crisp black banding over a gray/white body."

really...it is nothing until I can prove it out...if you saw this snake you would try to prove it out too...I need to get a better camera.

Well if ASF and Next World Exotics saw it what did they have to say about it???

just wondering.....Looks normal to me even if the camera is still bad there is WAY tooo much black in that snake....maybe they shed is alot more clearer then any you have seen but it just seems like there is WAY too much black on that snake....nice lookin tho..

Good Luck...
