Ghost update

Here are new pictures of my ghost pair.



I took some pics of them outside that came out nice, although the colors aren't as accurate.





I just got 2 new boys today from the "specter" line of ghosts. For those that aren't familiar with the specters, they originated from Kathy Love's Naples ghosts and from what I'm hearing elsewhere I guess there's some question as to whether or not anything else is at work with their genetics besides standard hypomelanism. Males especially seem to end up with lots of pink and I think I remember someone implying that the strawberry trait could be responsible. Anyway, here's the first kid with a very uniform, consistent pattern.


I love the fused saddles on this guy. I had been hoping to find some ghosts with abberant patterns and I think he'll fit the bill pretty nicely. One of his brothers looked really bizarre (in a cool way), so I'm hoping he'll produce some oddballs for me later on.



So that's where I stand now on my ghost project...3 males and 1 female. I'm going to have to do something about that ratio later on.

They're GORGEOUS! Are you planning to breed them with anything interesting?

That first pair just made me change my mind about Ghosts. Never cared for them until now. Beautiful snakes.

Your female is breath-taking! I love the pink cheeks of the anery-type morphs! Her colors are just so clean and crisp! Love the male's pattern, too!

I'm sure they'll have gorgeous, gorgeous babies! ;D

Or I guess I should say the first pair has lovely colors and the second boy has the awesome pattern! I really should read and not just be mesmerized by pictures, lol! xD

Wow wow wow. I totally love the one in the first few pictures. The black borders and clean [not frosted] pattern has my eyes bulging and jaw on the floor. Note to self: Buy one of Kevin's ghosts in the future. O___O! Again, wow!

They look amazing!

Oh, I just noticed those! That's a really beautiful trait; does it carry through to adulthood? Does anyone know of any other morphs that can have those?

Utterly gorgeous! I just bought my boyfriend one as a present, and I can't wait to watch her grow. I hope she turns out as beautiful as yours are!

Just each other I guess-I only have one other corn, and she kind of stands out from my collection of what is now mostly ghosts (and I don't think any of mine are het for anything).

Thanks, after reading back over it I wasn't very clear in separating the first two and lumped their pictures together. I've got 4 ghosts-my original pair and the new guys that just came today. Here are separate pictures of the first two to clear things up.

Female:

Well, I should read more carefully, myself! The first pair just look so similar, it's crazy! As I said, gorgeous! I love really clean-looking snakes like that. They'll definitely throw you some beautiful babies! ;}

And from the pictures I've seen, the pink stays with in most adults. My Granite (Anery+Blood) has the pink cheek trait, as did my Pastel Motley (Seletively-bred Anery), though his wasn't quite as noticeable.

Very nice! I've really had an eye for ghosts lately... and yours are gorgeous!

I want!

Wow, those ghosts are GORGEOUS! Such clean lines... I'm pretty sure your snakes just raised my standards for that morph.
