Here's a ghost brooksi. Finally after 5 clutches and 2 years, I get 2 in one clutch. The odds of getting a ghost have been in my favor for 4 out of 5 clutches, but this is the first to produce. Female #1 first clutch in 03 was 18 eggs and no ghost. The second was early this year with 23 eggs and no ghost. The third was her second clutch for the season of 19 eggs and so far, 2 ghosts.

Female #2 first clutch in 03 was 13 eggs and no ghost. Clutch #2 was 16 eggs, but only 13 fertile and no ghost.

Anyway, enjoy the pic.

Thats a sharp looking Ghost ! Most of the animals Ive seen were more aberrant but that isnt. Very nice. How does the other one look ?

the other 2 that have come out of the egg are much lighter than the one in the pic I posted. All 3 have great patterns, typical of most normal brooksi. I'll post pics of all 4 as soon as I can.

I've looked everywhere for a pic of a ghost, that's the first one I've ever seen! Looks great! Can't wait to see it grown up!!

It looks as though there are 3 ghosts so far. I only saw the nose of the third, but it's very pale purple.....just has a lot of food to absorb. I'll post more pics as they come out. There are still quite a few eggs to pip.

Brandon
Keep us informed on the ghosts. I would like to see more pics and what kind of sex ratio you have?.. I'm just curious in that way.

*heh-heh!*
