Info on Ghost's needed

It's not that complicated

In general:

hypo = ghost = orange ghost = bell line orange ghost, compatible lines of a recessive hypomelanistic trait.

When the original WC animals were imported, they were given a name. One might have been a little more orange in coloration, and was therefore named "orange ghost". When bred to hypos of another line, it turns out that they are the same morph. The polygenetic traits of coloration cause more variation in coloration than the existence of the ghost phenotype in an individual.

Exactly ... really you are going to get the same animal, there is variation in the colors but it's like that with every morph.

It would be interesting to know which lines have been proven not compatible. Not just someones words, but a breeders that has done the pairings.

Hi,

Blue ghosts aren't compatable with the others as far as I know - but they are also far too hard to find for my tastes as I'd love some. :taz:

They are the same thing. Like all morphs you have different qualities. I've seen some terrible looking Hypos and I've seen some great.

so let me ask, are these two snakes the same. One is named ghost the other orange ghost. They look completely different. The pictures were borrowed off the net from their respective owners.

So ar eyou saying all ghosts are the same just slightly different in color? Except for the exceptions of course. Just trying to understand.

Well I think it has been said multiple times in this thread, but yes besides a few exceptions they are all the same. just because it looks different doesn't change what we identify as genetics. Normals vary in color more than hypo ever could, doesn't mean their not normals.

Lemon pastel is still the same as a pastel is it not? The color name given to it means next to nothing, they hardly even look like the color people claim they are half the time. Look for a nice looking animal, forget the colors name.

take a het hypo and breed it to another het hypo, it makes a hypo. doesn't matter what tint of color it is.

Any pics of a blue ghost?

The majority of ghost lines are compatible. Citrus and desert ghost are a whole different ball game. I have also noticed from orange x orange you can still get a wide range of colors in the offspring which makes it interesting as they mature, some are orange some are yellow and some are blue /green. Buy from somebody you trust.
