    Desert Ghost Quality...?
    What makes a nice quality desert ghost? I haven't really seen enough to know what a NICE one looks like. They all look pretty good to me. Also, what traits would you say make a particular snake a GREAT example of the morph?
    I've noticed that they're usually reduced and nice and pale like a fire. But what else? I'm really liking the combos i've seen so far, so i'm just curious what a nice one looks like. Feel free to post a bunch of pics of yours, if you have them! :D

    I like reduced patterned desert ghosts with no spots. I want to see lots of blushing if possible, but that's more of a selectively bred thing and personal preference.
    Light sandy color. Lighter the better imo.

    Yea i agree nikki. By "pale" i meant light. Most of the ones i've seen so far have been pretty light and reduced. Sorta look like a lighter version of Tim's fire het hypo girl. :gj:

    Matthw lee has several that you can compare and figure out what you prefer :gj:. Some are pale, and some are yellow like deserts! As you probably know, they change dramatically with age :bow:.. My favorite is the pastel dg combos and the lesserbee dg :bow:...

    Most of the examples Ive seen aren't really blushed out. I hope someone starts selectively breeding those.
    Fireball Reptiles has really nice DGs. They would be my perfect DG with some added blushing and flames.

    This is my boy at around 900g:

    IMO it is hard to tell how nice the coloring will turn out until it get over about 700g, then it really starts to shift. Mine came from Jeremy Smith. He will continue to lose yellow as he ages.

    Also, the blacks should be just that, BLACK.

    The Desert Ghosts aren't pictured on his website! Does he have some on the classifieds somewhere, maybe? I'd love to see them too!
