The ghost (or it's true name which is hypomelanistic) morph is a recessive gene. The visible changes vary from snake-to-snake, but generally fades out all of the colors to the point that it looks likes it's in shed all the time :) The sheds from a ghost are patternless. The ghost is becoming a key component in many other morphs and are just beautiful animals by themselves.

 

GBP-M-2
This is is the ghost male that bred for us in '05-06. Unfortunately, he proved to be INCOMPATIBLE with the yellow/orange line so he had to go. Our friends over at Snowballs Ball Pythons hooked us up with a loaner for the '07 season and we're hoping to throw a few clutches to share with them.

HGBP-F-1
This girl proved out in '06 but didn't spit out any ghosts for reasons mentioned above. We bred her to a pretty ghost in '07 and are hoping to hit the mark with her.

HGBP-F-2
This is our largest het ghost girl but we've tried breeding her now for 3 seasons unsuccssfully.

HGBP-F-3
We needed a 'project' snake like we need a hole in the head but this is an '03 female 100% het ghost who came in with another deal that was in horrible shape. She was 2 years old and weighed about 500g. In perspective, my babies are usually 600g in a year. All she needed was some TLC. Gave her some nice conditions (dark racks, clean tub, etc.) and she started eating 2 weeks later and there's been no turning back. She proved out in '06 by breeding my old ghost but we ran into compatability issues so we didn't get any ghosts.
