    Ghost or normal

    I have a friend who breeds retics. Today was the Pittsburgh Reptile Show and I went to get a few rats. ( My rat supplier vends there. But keeps mine in the truck)
    Anyhow. My friend who vends there is a decent retic breeder but dabbles in balls too was telling me he picked up 7 breeder female balls cheap and wanted me to look at them. 1 was definitely black pastel. 5 we're totally normal. Then there was this one. My first thought was ghost as her head is crazy blushed. But I want a second opinion because the only ghosts I have are my KS line hypo. And well they are exceptional so next to them this one is nothing special. But the head still makes me feel ghost. Pics are in natural lighting no flash

    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    This is my KS line hypo and you can definitely see the difference

    It almost looks like an axanthic. I don't see ghost at all though in those pics.

    Is definitely not axanthic. It's the blushed head that has me questioning ghost

    I am also thinking hypo but only breeding and holding back everything will know for sure.

    Yea. I have desert ghost. I'm fairly certain that she isn't unless she's a extremely poor example. Just not bright enough for desert ghost

    looks like the blushing doesn't extend down the right side of the neck tho. anyway u guys should be able to tell on the next shed. but if it is Ghost, have fun figuring out the line. (at least some lines are compatible)

    Not orange ghost. My het orange ghosts have some head blushing like that but so do a lot of normal ball pythons.
