Morph Price Question - for friend

[MarkS]

Granted... but MOST hypo lines are compatible. There really are very few that are not, and they're usually more money. I think that TSK may have a line that they call yellow that might not be compatible. But otherwise, Butterscotch, orange, green and even many that are called yellows are all just color variations of the same mutation.

Im talking about this one:

Love it

I still don't think it's a cross of any sort because they would have mentioned what made it. I think it's its own morph.

NERD has a asking price of 500 for females - that's a great price compared to Europe.

I read somewhere that it's called the dessert ghost because the person who bought the first import thought it was a ghost of some sort, but it turned out to be a codom.

The desert ghost ball python, first produced by Mark and Kim Bell of Reptile Industries, is recessive, not co-dom. The desert (notice no use of the word "ghost" in its name) ball python is dominent.

The desert ghost line that Mark and Kim continue to work with is a very cool looking snake but I don't believe it is compatible with other ghost lines.

I was told that orange/yellow/butterscotch ghosts are just different colors you can get from the same morph, like even breeding a orange ghost to a orange ghost you can still get orange/yellow/butterscotch ghosts. I can't find the thread I saw that on tho.

No - it is not compatible with other lines of hypo. You are correct. And what's cool about them is how much they change from baby to adult-hood. I LOVE this project and one day hope to work it. Right now, it's out of my price range.

I don't differentiate between the different ghost lines when I'm collecting data, but it looks like (based off KS/Fauna asking prices) that male ghost hatchlings are selling for ~$250 this year. Females are in the $350-$450 range.

Hope that helps!

Well she's not looking to breed ball pythons. This will be her first ball python, but she wants a visual morph. Thanks everyone!
