    Seeking updated info; het ghost markers?

    A search lead me to a rather old thread about het ghost/ hypo/ o. ghost markers.

    I am curious now if there is more light and info to be shed on this. What i have read so far, Markers may include:
    Head spot
    Clear shed
    Lighter colors/blushing

    There's a lot of hypos being bred bow, just wonder if theres more knowledge about the possible markers. Any thoughts or insights?

    Thanks!

    Re: Seeking updated info; het ghost markers?

    I'm indirectly working with Orange Ghost (not breeding for it-just have it hanging out in the background).

    In Normals I don't see any Het markers that could not be found in a typical wild-type coloration.

    If I have a Pastel and I hold a Pastel Het Orange Ghost sub-adult side-by-side I will notice that the Het OG offspring has a little bit more 'orange' blushing near the belly scales when they are sub-adults. This coloring fades over time as the snake gets older/larger and in a Het I see no traits as an adult.

    Note: Orange Ghost can be confused with Hypo (Ghost). While the lines are compatible like Lesser/Butter (to make BELs)-Personally I would use the Orange Ghost Line in snakes where you want more yellow/orange color tinge, and the Hypo ghost line where you want less black.

    I am belatedly responding, but thank you for sharing that info!

    I know markers are no guarantee, but its still good to learn all i can about these morphs.
