Two year old Female Ice Ghost

Ice Ghost compared with regular Ghost. This regular Ghost is much lighter than the picture shows. There is still considerable contrast.

Ice Ghost

They are double homo Anery A and Lava Hypo. A project that I started a few years ago.
 
Ken, that is gorgeous!!
I confess I don't know what ICE means...
But that snake is really outstanding.
 
Ice Ghost Name

Lava Ghost or Lava hypo, Anerythristic A, Corn Snakes is what they are, but no longer have the bright color of Lava. The Anery A gene “Ices” out the orange color and is opposite than Lava. The Adult Ice Ghost also look most like a Glacier with a sunset on it and Glaciers are made of Ice. Other names were thrown around. Blue Ice (They have a blue head), Glacier Ice, Ice Corns, Lilac Corns and others. When I tried to call them just Ice Corns, most people added “Ghost” automatically, since that is what they are, so I went with Ice Ghost. Ghost are known to be a combo of a hypo gene and anery gene. We could call Hypo Lavenders, Lavender Ghost and it would be accurate.

I also think it will be the beginning of a theme when the Lava hypo is combined with the anery type genes, (Anery A, Black Albino, Anery B, Charcoal , Anery C, Caramel, Anery D, Lavender. These genes will “Ice” out the hot orange Lava color too, since they all remove red pigment in one way or another.

I will hopefully produce Lava Lavenders this year. A name within this theme could be “Ice” Lavenders. Lava Charcoals also have a chance to be produced this year and could be “Ice Diamonds” completely opposite of Lava Charcoals. Descriptive names are great, but not always completely necessary. “Trade” names can be applied as well.

The Lava Corns and Ice Ghost were named at the same time, so consideration was made to how both would relate. They are opposites, which works for me. A Lava Ghost name would have worked, but Ice Ghost looks more like the morph and can be connected in the way I described above.

I also like the fact that “Lava” Corn and “Ice” Ghost are among the shortest names for corns that there are and that seems to be a consideration when naming corns. An amelanistic Lavender Corn became an Opal Corn, short and sweet. Lava and Ice are short and sweet and can be connected and/or related to the morphs they represent.
