A true GHOST Californai kingsnake would be a double homozygot of a HYPOMELANISTIC and axanthic/anerythistic. Since there is only one new true line of axanthic in excistence it will be a while before any are made. This "true" axanthict has not been released yet to breeders as only one person i know is working with them. A GHOST can not be developed until someone breeds the axanthics to a hypo and breeds the double hets back to each other..

What you are probably refferring to is a Ghost cal king which is NOT a double homo. It is a name that was just applied without much forethought on the originators of this morph. You cannot make this morph as it is its own single reccessive trait on its own.

Check with Kerby on attaining any as he is the resident expert here on this forum and also happens to be the largest breeder of new Cal king morphs in the US or the world for that matter.. But you can find these "Ghosts" from other breeders as they have been around since about 1990-91. I produced them in 1992-93. But i would still check with Kerby. Maybe he will chime in on the local and such since I forget all that. He also bred the "Ghosts" into other traits.

Geez when a name sticks , it sticks.
