Another ghost question, I finally have a shed from him now what

thank you i appreciate it. I am really happy with him. what do pastel hypos usually retail for. and why havent I ever seen any green ghosts? if I see any they are Orange ghosts? just an observation, when i did talk to the breeder he said that its parent was imported. I can pull up the email again for the specifics and that his imported green was breed with some one ( forgot name) pastel or somthing But ya I am curious to find out what he is worth even though i plan on keeping him I found a similar one on fauna a "orange ghost" that was under 200 g for 485 dollars.

You can find green Hypos on Fauna for sure and some times on Kingsnake. They aren't too common because they are not compatible with the other Hypo lines. You can find POG's for in between 400-600 usualy. Thats also depending on size, sex and looks.

actually i cant find them on fauna LOL! I have been watching for the past 6 months. maybe prior to that but im an avid fauna follower just to let u know and I have not seen ONE GREEN GHOST. just a heads up maybe king but def not fauna. if you couldfind evidence to prove otherwise please do but I have been watching closely. thanks for the input though .:colbert:

I did see one on KS like 6 months to a year ago. But mostly I just see hets for sale. Too bad, I like the greens!

I don't see many ghosts at ALL on fauna... regardless of what 'kind'. I got an amazing deal just recently on my new ghost boy, and I can't wait to pair him up with some of my girls.

Looks like you have a super pastel to me. Instead of checking the sheds, just look at his yellows on his back/sides. If the yellow has depth, it's pastel/super pastel and maybe het hypo. If the yellow looks muted, blunt, or just no depth at all. He's defiantly got hypo in him.

Another way to tell takes a lot of time. Hypo's get lighter with age, and fade out. While Pastel's get darker with age.

A closer pic of him would be great.

closer? like to a pattern or a section of his pattern? he was my first ball after I sold all of my Beardies. so i love showing him off. he is one of the tamest to. ILL TAKE AS MANY PICS AS U WANT LOL JUST DIRECT ME LOL:gj:

remember when I said I talked to the breeder, The first time I said what is my male pastel? people have been telling me its a super or ghost, the first time around he didnt even respond to that email.LOL. so then I emailed him saying that IF he was just a het where can I find another het to pair with him and that I have never seen andy green ghosts or het green ghosts for sale and ask the same question regarding MY pastels genes this is what I got "He is a possible het. My line was from a wild caught green ghost. The babies I saved. The babies were bred to a pastel het green ghost. I purchased him from Joe Capone." so in my head I got a great deal on a ghost that Rick sold as a pastel het. . . het x het will produce ghosts so I dont know what he was thinking? if you look on my profile i have a pic from the website that I selected my baby from I knew he was HOT from the start lol.

I'm thinking this may be one of those cases that you'll just never know for sure until you breed to prove it out. It may take a few years if you can't find another for-sure compatible het...you'd have to breed for possible hets and then breed back to the sire. Of course if he IS ghost, then the babies will be 100% het, but you won't know that for sure until you breed back.

He's definitely HOT...and LOOKS like there is something special going on besides a typical pastel-het-ghost. But some recessive traits DO visually affect certain morphs in their het form. And if this is a new line relatively recent out of Africa...then you may be dealing with something that doesn't look or react like the typical known hypo lines.

thank you for your help, I contacted the breeder and he kind of changed his tune so to speak. he said that he doesnt know any more what he is but that he hopes he keeps his color and he knew he shouldve kept him. LOL that makes me happy. thanks again every one and JLC u are allways a great help. :taz:
