Apollo - big ghost stripe boy

[ghosthousecorns]

I have had this snake since he was a little hatchling and he is one of my favorites. Apollo is always a gentleman when handled, never refuses a meal even during breeding season, and gorgeous! He was hatched in 2004 by Mike Falcon and has fathered clutches for me 3 years now - 06, 07, and 08. Most of his babies have inherited his great temperament, good appetite, and looks.
Here's some pics.

What a beauty! I love what stripe does to ghosts.

 

[Toshiro]

Nice one. I like his yellow sides.

 

[jenneses]

He's lovely!

He is handsome! Looks big too! I know that the kids I have are from Circe and Prometheus (?), so which kids are his?

Hi Fred.. Your female is from Apollo and Circe. Your male is from Prometheus and Hera. I have not gotten any cubeds from Apollo but he does throw some nice stripes...
There's a few of his get out there. He is going to be a Grandpa! I hear they will pip soon

Ahhh, I new I would get something wrong. The stripes on the little girl are just WAYYYY kewl! I wish I could "play" with her more, but I don't want to rush her just yet.

I know I mentioned it before, but Prometheus and Circe... they're my favorite out of your Ghosts!

Sorry Apollo!!!!

His yellow flanks are outstanding! What a looker.

Fred -I am actually thinking to reverse the breeding next year and pair Apollo with Hera (she throws awesome vanishing stripes) and Prometheus with Circe... I may or may not do so. It hinges on whether a few of my younger project snakes are ready to go next year, if so I will probably give some of the ghosts a year off

Elle- Thanks! Yellow is not for everyone but I do like it

And so they have! You can see his Grandkids here. The parents of these babies are from Apollo and Circe. Stunning stripes and vanishing stripes!

:cheers:

WOW!!!! He's absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I love those long yellow stripes!!!

 

[SnakeAround]

He surely looks shiningly healthy!

 

[ghosthousecorns]

Thanks Blutengel (didn't see your reply until now)
I really am not sure if "Shiningly healthy" may also mean just a little pudgy. He never met a mouse he didn't eat, and its hard not to throw the rejects from other not-hungry snakes to him because I don't want to waste them. But he is on a strict 1 large mouse every 14 days diet now...

He's gorgeous! I also think yellow is VERY complimentary on ghosts. It doesn't look great on all morphs IMO, but I love it with that soft grey..

 

[ghosthousecorns]

Thanks Tom...as promised here's the pics of this years' two Apollo ghost striped daughters I have left. They are both kind of the same... the second one has a bit more of a vanishing stripe, they look different in pics because I was trying the "Blue bowl background" with one it brings out the purple but they both have it - no yellow yet but I'm sure they will get that too lol

 

[Tula_Montage]

his daughters are just as gorgeous!

 

[tom e]

They sure are, I love that second one the most!

 

[diamondlil]

Now he's one handsome ghost!

 

[Nanci]

I love the second one the most, too. Just think if you could breed a complete vanishing!! Wow, would that be something.

 

[reptile_jones]

Those are some very nice striped ghost corns!!

Stripe ghost are on my "09" wish list and yours have the look that I was looking for. :idea:
