The "True Ghost"

After YEARS of waiting, are we finally seeing the "True Ghost"...? I think I'll have to make my opinion after I see it completely out of the egg, but I think The Snake Keeper hit on this 1 in 16!

What defines the True Ghost? Hypo and something else? (Sorry to be uninformed. :) )

It's the double homozygous form of a Hypomelanistic and Axanthic.;)

Hey thanks for the info. The snake looks pretty wonderful. I can't WAIT to have my own baby at the end of this summer.... :)

It has ghost corn colors!!! Whooot!, that might be a project to get into.:D

That is awsome. I wonder what day that egg is on. It may still develop some color, but I hope that is it. These are exciting times.

p.s. I also hope I have one of those in the incubator. I got about 14 days till I get to cut mine.

Beautiful! I'm glad the day has finally come.

Good Luck Tim! I hope you get one too.

Tim -- I was wondering what day it was on as well -- those last few days and then after the shed -- could really add a bit of color -- but we'll have to see - looks cool!

Best of luck on yours as well -- what line axanthic are you working your project with? You may still be able to produce the first VPI true ghost :gj:

That's a very good question, to me it looks like a blue cast, which is what I imagined it to have.

I really hope you hit yours, you were using VPI axanthics? I imagine using the different lines will make them subtly different.:gj:

In case you guys didn't see, Dan did reply to my question on Kingsnake, and the egg is on day 55. We are using the VPI Axanthic line in ours, so we could potentially be the first to hit the VPI True Ghost. Our eggs are on day 36.

Looks pretty amazing. I can't wait to see it out of the egg and washed off. :)

Bet it's one of the longest 14 days of your lives eh? Best wishes and all the crossable bit crossed that you and Monica do hit on the very first VPI True Ghost.

Any update on this?

I just heard that they have pics out of egg. But I can't find them!

Yep she finally came out :gj:

Good luck Tim!
