Photo of a Phantom

Corey Woods Jun 24, 2005 05:43 PM

This is a real Phantom from the collection of Ralph Davis. This picture was taken back in January 2005. Ralph gave us (Jon Kendrick and I) permission to post any photos taken on that date. This photo was taken by myself of animals owned and still in the possession of Ralph Davis.

I'm not sure if this is Cuff or Link in the photo but it does give you a good representation of what a Phantom looks like.

Regards,
Corey

I am definitely not a morph expert, but doesn't that look just like a mojave?? Beautiful snake though!

doesn't the story go, Ralph asked one of his buddies what he thought of the snake, whether it was a mojave or not, and his friend said, no that is a phantom mojave (i.e. pretty normal). Ralph disagreed, so to be funny he called his new morph "the phantom", which he later proved out to be somewhat different from a mojave, but similar.

I dont think its wishful thinking but I would have to say that the two are similar in appearance.. I'll breed it to the Pastel see what happens... I would love to make you eat your words down the road....

You asked for an opinion and you got it.... Corey gave you his view and you take it as an insult?!? Thats not cool man. He is not the type of person to flame anyone he just calls it like he sees it.....

I hope you dont take this the wrong way. I will be very happy for you if she does prove.... Just take it easy....

It doesn't matter what anyone says.............it'll either prove or it won't. You can call it whatever you want but if it's a normal it's a normal. If it's a morph it's a morph.

Ok Terrific

The ball you have looks nothing like the Phantom. The proof is right under your nose and you can't see it! Why even bother asking what others think if you've already made up your mind? I'm betting you'll never have a white ball and will have to "eat your own words" as you blatantly put it. Chill out before you hurt yourself.

a pretty normal, just like Corey said. What is so difficult about that?? You don't have a Phantom!!!!! It's a nice normal. Get off Corey's case, he was just giving you his "RIGHT" opinion on the animal you posted.
