Codom Naming question...

Ok, Ralph Davis calls his Yellowbellys Goblins but doesn't his Phantom look a lot like a Mojave? The super Phantom Goblin rocks!

So a Goblin is just a Yellowbelly then?

When he first hatched the phantom there was a very brief period when both RDR and TSK thought it was a mojave. This was before we even knew what the homozygous versions of any of these lesser complex mutations looked like or that they where all different mutations of the same gene. Before long they decided they where different and that was proven correct when the homozygous mojave and homozygous phantom where both produced and look very different.

the super phantom is insane. Hey I think Ralph is my dad, but since Im 25 he can pay me the back owed child support, in ballz. Lmao

I do agree with you that the homozygous versions of each look quite different. So does Ralph sell his phantoms or does he keep everything he hatches? He really has put his mark in the Ball Python market.

I think Ralph has 2 available for 10k each... look on his available list...

I still don't understand why he calls his Yellow Bellys Goblins...

It's his line of Yellowbelly. Why are there lemon pastels, blonde pastels and all the other pastel names? Sure the name sucks because you have to do actually ask him or someone that knows what a goblin is but then again, once you know you wont forget. ;)
