Axanthic and Anerytheristic... and true Ghosts

Some morphs get their names because they look simular to mutations already named from other species of animals. Take the Pied that came from horses, albino is a generally excepted pre-named mutation, Hypo is self explanatory like Axanthic (which you can find in Kings, corns, geckos, and even sand boas).

You know what is funny? :) Piebald, referring to horses, means strictly a horse that is patched, black and white. BPs should have technically been called Skewbald, IMO. This is a horse with white, and any other color patches (brown.. BP-ish..) if they were naming it after horses..
I am not sure about the rest of the animal world. And if, say, dogs that are brown and white, are Pieds in their registries. But I know this about horses!

There are no known True Ghosts out there just yet, unless someone hatched one and hid it under a rock. We should see some this year.

Oooh, I can't wait! :D

Sorry for bringing up an old thread... BUT!!

For those wondering the true definition of ghost: it doesn'y exist till I see pictures!!! please? (axanthic x hypo I mean) lol

Man, I hope the one that produces the first double homo Axanthic Hypo will not be calling it a true ghost. What an ugly sounding name!

They are Hypos guys, burry the Ghost already :D

I don't know Tim, we've been hearing that for years. I've been wondering if it's even possible, or if it's already been created and didn't look any different then a regular axanthic.

Mark,
My girl doesn't have palpatable follicles yet, but she is nice and plump at about 2400 grams and has been breeding like a rabbit. I have talked to a couple people that have produced clutches, and they claimed to have missed it (and I beleive them). All anyone can say is, I hope it works, but I sure would like to be the one to show off the first one. Trust me, I will definitely be posting pictures of my girl's eggs (if she lays) and the clutch results.

i always thought the desert ghost ball morph was an axanthic x hypo cross but because of this thread i re-read the description of desert ghost and magically the words changed to tell me that the desert ghost morph is actually a simple recessive gene. it does look like a "true ghost" though.

I would hope they bury the "ghost" term and use Hypos for Hypos and Ghosts for, well, true ghosts, lol.

I hope they can be made! It would be so sad if they were not... :tears:
