wondering if this is a phantom?

I won this snake from richsballpython, it was from Phantom X Normal. i bought it as a dinker. I believe it is a phantom but i have been wrong before. I want to hear what you guys think. here is the link for the picture.

Rich posts here on a regular basis. I'm sure he can clear up any confusion.

lol, he wasnt sure either, thts y i got a steal, if it proves out

Hard to say, it has a funky pattern. Here is my Pastel Phantom for a pattern comparison:

eh, the pastel is making it hard to compare

Not really, all the Pastel did was add blushing and turn up the yellow. The pattern remains unchanged by the Pastel. But your welcome anyway.

where are my manners, thanks you jinx667

No problem. Just trying to expand your references. Phantoms have a Mojave-ish pattern that should distinguish them from a normal. Some describe them as "ugly" Mojaves. Yours has a wacky pattern and it is hard to tell, especially if the breeder does not know.

Your best bet will be to eventually breed it to a Mojo or a Lesser and hope for the best.

i was planning on doing that next season because i do not have a female mojave but i do have some normal females ready to go. ill breed him with them and see what i get out of it

Do you have another pic with better lighting? Looks promising though...
