Sorry you are not gonna find a true ghost (which would be a Double Recessive BP) for $150 shipped, I don't even think you can find a DH True Ghost for that price either.

So you are likely talking about an hypo also labelled as ghost, however those a single recessive and not double and I doubt you would get one for $150 shipped as well ;)

By Ghost I assume you mean the simple recessive hypo.. Can't wait to see your new boy. Always exciting to add to the addiction. I don't have any hypos so no pics from me.

EDIT: Deb you beat me to it. :D

Just use the search function and type in Ghost. I'm sure there have been plenty of nice examples of ghosts posted on this forum.

yes, i mean a hypo, and the hypo takes two genes to show itself, unlike a pastel.

No it doesn't see my post above and Hypo is a single recessive.

Only 1 gene involve.

True ghost has 2 genes involved (Hypo & Axanthic)

Well your thinking is right the wording is wrong it takes two copy's of the same gene to be expressed. A pastel is really a het super pastel, so a pastel is to a super pastel what a Het hypo is to a Hypo..

A two gene animal is something like a Bee (spider Pastel) or a King pin (pinstripe Lesser)

See the difference..

you'll get it just hang it there

I think you are having a bit of a terminology hang up. Hypo is a recessive trait, so to be a visual hypo an animal must have two COPIES of the Hypo gene. They do not have two different genes as, say, a Bumblebess would. When people say a 'double gene' animal, they usually mean and animal with genes for two different morphs.
