03 Hold Back Ice Ghost "Better Photos"

I only ended up holding back a pair of these guys from 2003. I ended up holding back the lightest pair. They are starting to get some nice pink coloration and are very "Ghostly" looking.

This is the female.

The best my camera can do on the lowest setting.

Female again

The male. He is a little smaller because he came from a second clutch.

He likes to play hide and seek.

He likes tree climbing too.

Those ghosts look soooo nice. I love their soft colors.

Beautiful snakes. My question is, how do you all get your snakes out of the tree once they are in it? Mine always looks at me like he's plotting the ultimate get-away so I never really put him in there. I can imagine what my neighbors would think if they saw me hanging from a tree trying to rescue a snake! Aye!

No wonder you held them back
they look great~!

Especially that male of yours~!
I really like the male.

LOL...so you only ended up holding one pair?
Dang.....
so I guess I basically took the last of it~

You got some of mine that I was going to hold back. Luckily this years clutches are starting to hatch. I will have to hold a few more of them back this year.

One of my clutches which was an Ice X Lava het Ice has 17 Ice in the clutch and one Lava het Ice. Talk about the odds gods being in my favor!

Schweet looking ghosts! Are those ruby eyes? I like those ruby eyes on some ghosts.

 

[Simon]

Wow

Lava het ice x Ice = 17 Ice and 1 Lava het ice? Man! What kind of odds are you getting! Sweet!!!!

Man wish that mine would grow up fast so that I can start breeding some of of these myself~!!!

Awesome!!!

 

[Sparda]

WOW....

No wonder you held those beauties back...I might have to get a pair from you this year instead of waiting and trying to breed my own. They are AWESOME.......

Ice Ghosts

Okay Joe,
Now that I've looked at the beautiful pics you posted of them, I have a couple of questions (that you have probably already answered to others, but I'm an impatient old lady, who doesn't want to do more searches! ) for you.
I'm seeing red eyes on these guys, so are they technically 'AMEL Ghosts'?
And they do look a bit like the very light 'Phantoms' aka 'Charcoal Ghosts'.
Could you please give an old lady a genetic clue here? LOL

Thanks!

These better photos should help. They often do look very similar to other “Ghost” type corns when the photos are not up to par. Even then, they are “Ghost” so we should expect them to look similar, but a little different than other Ghosts.

I have been experimenting with my camera and I took some better photos of the Hold Back Ice Ghost from 03. These photos show their coloring much better. Their “Blue” heads show up better and there over all pink coloration with yellow high lights that is hard to pick up sometimes.

The Ice Ghost have slate blue eyes with ruby irises. They are homozygous for Lava hypo and Anery A. I have produce a couple of Homo Lava, Anery A and Amel. They look like Blizzards.

Hey I have been wondering about the looks of these...
does the 'blizzard' (lava amel anery) have the 'waxy' looks in them?
You know the lava and the ice ghost has the 'waxy' looks in them...so I am guessing that the 'blizzard' (lava amel anery) has that looks in them~
post some pics~!

3000 Post!

WOW Simons, 3000 posts! Congratulations is definitely in order!

These first three photos are the only ones that I have of a Homo Snow Lava. I would like to add, that they have never been tested to see if they are in fact homo for Lava. I just don’t know what else they could be.

The other Snows from this project are typical snows or Snokeetees. (Snow Okeetees) like this last photo.

Joe,

LOL....to be honest..I didn't even know that I posted 3000 posts....until you told me...
Well I guess this would be the 3001 post~ I guess this proves that I have been bugging a lot of people around this forum a lot for the last 2 years since they have a counter thing going on....just to see who bugs this forum the most....LOL...

Hum...
those Lava Snows don't really look like what I have had in mind. But hey photos never really does an animal any justice...so heck...I bet that if I ever come down to your place I'll be drooling all over your place that you might need a coupld of buckets just to hold my saliva in....

Does those "Lava Snow" have that waxy thing going on like the Ice Ghosts or Lava gene?

Prove them out to be homo lava and I'll be real happy about this combo~!!
