    het yellow ghost or an actual yellow ghost?

    I am about to buy this snake from someone and he is calling it a het. Yellow ghost. But when i look at the picture it looks to me like it is an actual yellow ghost. Does he not know what kind of snake he has or am i just misidentifying?

    Looks normal to me. Ghosts have very distinct heads, but that isn't the best picture.

    If it's a het, make sure to get paperwork.

    Ball python ghost (aka hypo) seems to have co-dominant tendencies with some hets shedding clear and tending to look prettier than your average normal.

    Re: het yellow ghost or an actual yellow ghost?

    That is a ghost. I have a pair of ghost and that one does not look like my pair. It looks more like a normal than anything. So, hopefully it is a het. Did he say that it was a ghost or make any statements hinting on it being a ghost?

    Dangerous animals shall be banned.
    Ball Pythons are not dangerous.
    Conclusion:
    Therefore, Ball Pythons shall not be banned.

    It looks too bright to be a ghost, it doesn't look faded at all. I will admit it does have a sweet pattern tho. As long as it's coming from a trusted source and it has paperwork And the price is right go for it man.

    Chances are that's your sign.
    If he is saying its a Het and not a ghost then its probably a Het. Hets look completely diff than a visual homo snake.
