    Desert Ghosts

    Just thought we'd post up a pic of our Desert Ghost clutch. We got really blessed from the morph gods. We had het x het purchased from Reptile Industries (mark and Kim Bell) and had our fingers crossed for one homozygous. We totally lucked out and got 1.2 Desert Ghosts and 1.2 66% pos hets. Hope our luck holds for the rest of the season. Here is a post shed picture of the clutch...

    Desert Ghosts, or the Desert x ghost? I'm just confused. Either way, great clutch!

    Re: Desert Ghosts

    These are the recessive Desert Ghosts. They lighten up as they age. this thread shows an example of an adult and a hatchling.

    Re: Desert Ghosts

    Wow! I have loved the Desert Ghosts ever since I saw them in person at NERD. I never realized that they hatched looking like bright normals and obtained the ghost look as they aged. I love learning something new!

    They are stunning babies! Congratulations!!!!

    Thanks a bunch...

    Not much has been published about desert ghosts because there aren't that many around, but we're going to do a chronological pictorial after every shed and post it on our Vault News page on our website. When the transformation is complete, we can compile the photos into a flash video to show the hatchling to adult transition.
