Please give this girl a look...

Nice Bp looks like a unprovened green ghost

Hi,


Well I always though ghosts had a sort of muted stonewashed look to them. Here's a few links with pictures (none of which are mine and belong to the hosting website).

Yeah she is not washed out like that, though the colors are close otherwise.

I can't put my finger on it! It definately does not look Pastel.. there is not that honkin' yellow on the bottom parts of the pattern that even the most browned-out pastels seem to retain. Fire Ball? The more times I look at the snake, the less close I am to IDing it if it is a morph..!

Exactly my problem. I keep looking and I keep seeing what she ISN'T. She has that mixing of slate gray and yellow on her sides and bright yellow on the top and bottom. I've seen fire balls but none that look enough like her to say that's it. Stumped. Thank you for the opinion!

I think from her size I'd have to put her at about over a year, but not by much. I have seen no color change after any sheds so far. Thanks for the help!

Alex,
If I recall correctly, it has happened at differnet ages, but I most remeber it happening in the first 1 to 2 years. I think that they have colored back up to near original color after some time. However, after the initial posting of those animals, the usually fade away, and the owners never followed up on what happened to them. I wish I could have been more help. If I can locate on of the posts that I am reffering to tomorrow, I'll link in this post.

Great, thank you. I'll keep you up to date on her color changes for sure so we know if she's one of these age faders or not.

It could be a Ghost, it could be a Fire but it can also be a normal. Only time will tell. Till that time it's just a beautifull looking ball ;)

does it look like a lemon lime hypo? or arctic?

I'm not even going to embarass myself and begin to speculate - but I did want to compliment you on such a pretty female!
