    Desert Ghost?

    Does anyone have experience with the Desert Ghost gene? I'm looking to get into a breeding project for a high end bright yellow ball python, just wondering how the Pastel + Desert Ghost compares to regular pastels or Pastel Fire Yellowbelly complexes. Seems like it may be a lot brighter yellow? Or maybe it depends on the line of Desert Ghost? I found this photo on the web, seems pretty bright, but it's hard to tell if someone photo shopped the photo.

    I would not say that is photo shopped but it was taken with a flash. As for DG/pastel to a pastel or even a firefly there is no comparison. DG is that much brighter and cleaner.
    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    Not sure, might be the lighting or the flash making the colors appear different.

    My desert ghost pastel certainly is bright. But the yellow is more of a lighter but intense yellow. Sort of like taking highlighter yellow and mixing a bit of bright white into it. Its not a buttery yellow.

    Here is a picture of mine..

    He's a beaut. I love the sharpness of the contrast of his bands.
