What was the pairing? Looks a little Spotnose-ish to me.

Really hard to help without knowing what the sire and d

Sorry bout that last post.... We need more info I order to help. What was the paring??? ^^^^ what he said lol.

Normal with cool pattern

I really like the pattern

I picked these up after breeding had already begun. As far as I know this baby is from a Lesser Platinum x Normal breeding. There could be hets in there and possibly another male could have locked with the normal female. Possibilities include hypo, OG and spider.

Hypo and OG are the same thing...

The baby could be het hypo, but they normally aren't real obvious or different...if at all. Probably just an odd normal then?

looks normal but only way to really tell is proving it out, that would be a lot of breeding to prove it though.

In theory it should be a normal or a lesser. It's not a lesser. I'm just trying to rule out anything else that may have slipped in unrecorded.

Technically a hypo is axanthic ghost, but ball python peeps are a bit behind the times when it comes to properly naming traits :rofl:
But in our little world hypo and ghost are the same thing...:P

The hatchling looks like it could be being influenced by the hypo gene

Are you sure you put those in the right order? My understanding was that a "true ghost" was a hypomelanistic axanthic. Otherwise, hypo and orange ghost are typically used interchangeably.

I agree that hypo and ghost are the same. I thought OG had a distinct color difference.

In any event, below are photos of the lessers in the clutch for reference. The normals in the clutch are clearly normal.

Hypo and Orange Ghost are the same things. They are basically just different names. You'll see various lines of the same morph on WoBP. There's a great chance that head spot is Hypo/OG influence. I hatched a few 66% hets this season that definitely had odd head markings and head spots. If I wanted to take the time to raise up 66% het Hypos I would have picked the ones with head stuff going on. I'd show some pics but they were wholesaled already :)

I agree that baby could be het hypo/ghost.

I know hets aren't supposed to be visual, but I have seen so many pictures of het hypos that I honestly think you can pick them out of the clutch they were hatched into. Maybe not just to see one randomly, but with all their siblings, I am beginning to think it can be done fairly accurately.

You have a very nice clutch by the way, those lessers are really sweet.

Could be het hypo or just a reduced pattern normal either way real pretty snake

Maybe I'll pick up a het ghost and see if thats what my dinker is. They look similar.
