Yes, two different names/terms for the same morph.

"Ghost" is the name of the morph. "Hypo" is short for the term hypomelanistic, which is the type of morph it is. Most people use the two words interchangeably.

Thanks that is what i thought...

Hypos/ghosts are one of my favorites. It gets more complicated when you start introducing other variations of "ghost" like green ghosts or true ghost, which are different and not compatible with orange ghosts (correct me if I'm wrong).

True ghost is a Hypo Axanthic. There is also a Desert Ghost which is its own morph as well. The different lines of ghosts may or may not be compatible with other lines. It is best to ask your breeder his line and what it is compatible with.
