I think there's too many morphs

I say it's a Caramel. It looks more like a Caramel than any Ghost I have ever seen including the pictures Susan posted.

It really doesn't look like a ghost to me either. Some few ghosts might look that way, but if I saw it for sale as a ghost I would be kinda skeptical unless I knew the breeder to be trustworthy. I've seen pastel ghosts, really peachy ones, and darker ones with a lot of black on them, but not all rolled in one and this snake just looks all wrong for a ghost to me. But I like and select for lighter colored ghosts anyway. What it looks like to me is a normal with some localty or other, the background color seems kind of metallic looking, maybe caramel or the Alabama corns already mentioned.

WOW! Such an amazing array of guesses. It is in my opinion very much a ghost. A nice ghost, but a ghost none the less. In my opinion, it does not have nearly enough yellow wash to the front half of it's body to be a Caramel.

I think it's might be a Dilute Pastel (dilute, hypo and anery), as it's saddles are just too pink/orange in comparison to the body (which looks quite murky) to be a plain old ghost. Here's two examples of Dilute Pastels for comparison :



Compared to :


Though with such a murky colour it's difficult to ID XD What are the chances that the snake is coming up to shedding and thus the colours are dimmer/darker than normal?

Just my two cents

Well, she wasn't in blue on Tuesday night, but I haven't bothered her since then to check. I have no idea when she even ate last or what schedule she's on. I'm erring on the side of caution and leaving her for 5-7 and then I'll feed her. She's a little on the skinny side and I know she's been alone since Saturday, so I feel comfortable feeding her asap.

I'll definitely keep everyone posted as to whether she's in shed or what the owner says she is. Very interesting anyways.

I guess what we really need is more photos under various different lighting situations and with different backgrounds.

I wouldn't say it's impossible, but it doesn't look like a ghost to me. I wouldn't rule out caramel, but my guess would be a simple regional variation of a normal corn.

I agree. It looks like a normal to me. It looks like an ugly Miami.
