Hey guys..i produced this guy in june 2010..Dad is a Ghost multi het..mom an albino multi het...dad n mom not related...Dad i got from bhb and mom was a gift from a friend...In this clutch I had snows,albinos,anerys and normals....and this guy..he looked like an anery at hatching but had bigger bands and blue tinge,so hel him back...As hes maturing hes gaining amber reds and a lil lavender...Im pretty confident hes not an anery or a ghost..Brian Barczyk said he looked like a cinder but told me has no cinder in his corn bloodlines....weird..Any help or opinions would b grealy appreciated...trying to figure out his genetics..hes a really good looking snake...Love to know what he is...hes a lil dark in these pics as he is going opaque.

He does not look like a cinder at all. Cinders are hypoerythristic. They show true reds, not the pinky/peach tones.

He DOES look like a really light anery or a ghost, however. Could be what's referred to as a "pastel" ghost, which is known for rich saddle colors.

Pictures at these links show just how colorful aneries and ghosts can be.

thanx..yes im not familiar with the cinder's n started looking at em.didnt look to much like him from some of the pics i saw and yes he has more of the peachy type coloration..Brian had said he had no cinders in his bloodline....it make sense if hes just a really nice anery.a few friends have some anery's from this clutch but look nothing like him,more of the typical black albino anery Thats why i started to doubt what he was..I produced a lot of babies from this pairing n no ghosts...I dont think my female albino is het for hypo....i held back a snow female from this clutch as well n will breed her with this guy next yr and should nice ghosts from that pairing n hopefully more of him..Thanx for the feedback.

Might also be a Charcoal, maybe? It's hard to see in the pics, but does he have any yellow on the neck?
