Hey everyone,
Litter #2- we got “Boo” ghosts! First thing this morning, I went to check my gravid double het for ghost (bred by a ghost) to find a smokin’ litter of babies. Half of them are “slightly” premature, but they seem content sitting in their amniotic sacs with their heads poking out. I do not have the official count as of yet (I didn’t want to disturb them), but I think I have sixteen babies and two slugs. I counted at least 4 ghosts and one of them is exceptional, especially if you like aberrant boas. There is a beautiful hypo (in the following post), which seems to be some kind of reverse stripe! A DH ghost x ghost breeding potentially yields 37.5% ghost (dominant:co-dominant, 1:2), 37.5% hypo (dominant:co-dominant, 1:2), 12.5% anery, and 12.5% het for anery, so I am anticipating the final stats.
There are a few of us who believe this “Boo” line of ghosts and anery’s are special (originated from Rich Ihle). It looks as if they will live up to their reputation. I will make sure to post pics later this week and report the final count. I am hoping to prove out my Ronne Pastel possible het anery by hopefully producing pastel ghosts, hypos, and anerys (Ivories). I will have to wait a few more weeks for this litter.
I hope you all are having as much fun as I am,
