The Silver Surfer - Ghost Lesser Silver Streak Ball Python

This is one of the coolest snakes I have ever produced. Despite getting brutalized on the odds on clutch after clutch this season I was fortunate enough to produce 2.0 of these. These guys are hypo super pastel black pastel lesser platinums. Crazy, right? Think of all the things this snake is at once:

• Ghost
• Super Pastel
• Black Pastel
• Black Pewter
• Silver Streak
• Lesser Platinum
• Ghost Lesser
• Super Pastel Lesser
• Ghost Silver Streak
• Ghost Black Pastel
• Ghost Black Pewter
• Ghost Lesser Black Pewter

I'd be glad to have any of those in my collection and the fact that I have all of them in one (twice) just makes me smile.

I don't think anybody had produced these yet so I'm going to call it the Silver Surfer ball. It seems appropriate.

Seriously unbelievable! I'll give you $100 and a high five for it! Eh? Ehhhh? Tempting?? Man that thing is stunning!

Cheers,

that thing is SWEET

but how do you know all those morphs are in there? how can you tell?

That is bad ass.... and one powerful snake! congrats:gj:

that is one sexy snake:bow::gj:

You have had a good year, my friend. That is one of the most jaw dropping animals I've ever seen.

Oh Colin...

Really.

You are killing me here.

Awesome snake :) :gj:

Pretty damn cool!!!

...*brain explodes*

wowz

DANG!!! That takes the cake. :salute:

Justin

OMG!!!!!!!!:O:O:O:O
That color & pattern is just beautiful!:bow:

Wow!
So that makes it a 6 combo morph?

Edit: I'm trying to look at the combination of the basic morphs to see how many base morphs are in this one ball python. I actually think it's 4, not 6 because there's black pastel and then super pastel which also includes the ingredients for a black pewter. And silver streak is pewter and super pastel right? (I know very little about silver streaks..)

So would these animals all contain:
Ghost
Pastel
Black Pastel
Lesser Platinum
?
Then all combined in various different ways to eventually get Silver Surfer. Wow!

No matter what, it's amazing! And I highly applaud you for creating it. And super congrats for producing two at that!

Very pretty, they're going to be beautiful as adults!

Holy crap...

:eyepoppin:eyepoppin:eyepoppin:eyepoppin:eyepoppin:eyepoppin:eyepoppin:eyepoppin :eyepoppin

I can hardly wrap my head around how that even works! I mean.. I can, but my brain hurts.

mind boggling... im utterly befuddled!! Very cool!

I'll double your offer and make it TWO high fives!!! :rofl:


Seriously AMAZING snake! I love the name too! :gj:

Okay, now I feel reeeeeally far behind!

Congrats, though! Gorgeous snake....

HOLY ******** ****** ***** **** !

I know a few person who are DAMN FAR from this !!!! While about everyone !

That's a QUAD GENE morph, with 1 being recessive and another one being a super. It's just INSANE !!!

And it's BEAUTIFUL !

you know alot of people say my jaw dropped and don't really mean it, im not joking mine did.

only question i have is how can you be sure its a super pastel? because my girlfriends POG has the blushing markers of a super pastel, but obviously the color if different, but your so far off the color spectrum... i donno how you can be sure, not that im doubting you, just asking....

The difference between a black pewter and a silver streak is the presence of a second instance of the pastel gene. When the animal is a super pastel black pastel (e.g. silver streak) it has a distinct absence of pattern down the center of its back that is ...silver (which explains the name).

Here are three pictures. The first picture is the ghost lesser black pewter. Notice the absence of a streak down its back. The second picture is a regular silver streak (using the word "regular" to describe a silver streak is a bit of sacrilege). The third picture is this silver surfer. Notice the "silver streak".

Pile me on to the litigation efforts currently underway for the following names:

- Ralph Davis is being sued by Anglo Platinum, the world's largest platinum producer
- Ian Gniazdowski is be sued by Gene Wilder and the estate of Richard Pryor for use of the name Silver Streak.
- There are class action lawsuits underway regarding the use of the name "spider" and "Bumble Bee". All the bees and spiders in the world are pissed. I also heard that Optimus Prime himself is representing the interests of the Autobots in this matter.
- Aspidites ramsayi has filed suit over the blatant use of the name "Woma".
- A coalition of rock quarry's is contemplating action over the name "granite".
- The World Pool-Billiard Association is preparing legal arguments regarding the use of the term "8-ball".

Living in a litigious is great, isn't it?
