True ghost has 2 genes involved (Hypo & Axanthic)

Deb, I think what they mean by that is a pastel takes just a pastel to make itself, while a ghost takes two ( meaning its recessive ) of a kind to make a hypo, like two hets or two ghosts.

Here is one of our Hypo Het-Ghost (VPI Axanthic) yearling!

Can't wait to produce our first VPI Ghost this summer! :D

Like it or not, the term Ghost means a Hypomelanistic Ball Python here in the States. Unlike in Boas, where Ghost means an Anery and Hypo gene both are expressing themselves.

We use the term True Ghost when referring to an Axanthic Hypo Ball Python.

I get that however his wording is wrong an hypo is still a single gene animal and it does take 2 copy of the same gene to make an hypo if breeding hets, however it is not a 2 genes animal as posted in his first post ;)
