Phantom or Not??

One of my friends had this snake in through a swap as a phantom? I havent seen any phantoms in person so havent got nothing to compare it against.

What does everyone think is or isnt it?

Sweet, today is "Is it a Phantom?" Day :P

In all seriousness, maybe. Not the best pics to decide from. It is hard to tell if the alien heads are really split into individual tracks or do the eyes are just run together (like a Cinny). The color looks OK, but would expect a bit more contrast between the spine colors and the side colors. Phantoms are a somewhat subtle morph, more pics and maybe a belly shot would help.

Here is a good pic of the pattern on my Pastel Phantom. The color will obviously be different, but you can see what I am talking about with the thin alien heads with a single dot (eye) in the middle. You also see this on Mojaves. Yours seem a bit wide, but that could be variation?

Does he have reason to doubt the breeder? Lineage is the #1 thing with a morph like this. Has the Sire or Dam produced Potions or Karmas?

The person he had it off, i am not sure if he breed it or bought it in himself.

From just that one photo I would say it looks like a phantom. Just remember, there doesn't only have to be one "eye" in the alien head for it to be a phantom.

I don't have any Phantoms/Mystics, but I'm going with no.

Me too. The colour looks wrong. Looks just like my CB07 normal female when she was little.

Send some pics to Ralph Davis im sure he will give you a good idea on what characteristics follow the phantom gene.
