    So you're ruling out recessive trait morphs without any idea what it is?
    Keep an open mind to the possibilities, it's almost certainly a hypo "something" especially seeing that clean shed.

    I am sure both parents are not a het or poss het, and definitely its not a hypo, there is a orange coloration with a bit of purple, on the sides there are flame like pattern with orange coloration as well

    That is a crazy looking snake. Almost looks like a Desert Ghost - Orange Ghost Combo. There is no way that those snakes are het for both desert ghost and orange ghost.

    Maybe just het ghost with a really nice normal coloring and reduced pattern that causes the ghost to pop.

    Amazing luck wish these things happened to me.

    Agree with the hypo look. Unroll that shed it looks darn clear the way it is.
    It's not totally out of the possibility of hidden hets. It happens alot.
    Either way the colors say hypo something too.... No matter what that's a keeper.

    Viperidae, there's no way to rule out the parents being hets, unless they were bred to hypos repeatedly to try to prove it.

    If you breed a 50% poss het to a normal, you get 25% poss hets...etc, on down the line. After 50%, people usually just stop mentioning the possibility altogether. Nevertheless, with every breeding, there is a 50/50 chance that the gene will be passed on. As a result, a LOT of morphs out there have het genes now, and a LOT of normal females used as breeders do. If someone produces a clutch of low-percentage poss. het normal females, they just sell them off as normal females.
    Breed that female to a cinnamon, produce a clutch of cinnamons, and there you go--a cinnamon that carries the hypo gene, and you never knew it.

    That little one is an orange ghost, for certain. I don't know what else he has going on--the clear windows and blushing are spectacular--but that's definitely the hypo gene at work.

    There's one additional possibility as well. Random mutations DO happen sometimes. The hypo mutation is not so dramatically uncommon that it could not occur randomly in someone's breeding program. The test will be to repeat the pairing, and see if more orange ghosts are thrown.

    absolutely a hypo! without a doubt.

    I can see the OG, but doesn't look like it has cinny and doesn't really look like a POG either.
