What type of ghost is your male?
We have a captive hatched male ghost here that for his first breeding we paired him up with a female Orange Ghost just to see if he is compatible. If he isn't we will get a whole clutch of double het for two lines of ghost normal looking ball pythons. Unfortunately it happens.
The Honey bee is definitely a cool project, but if you really wanted a fun longer term project I really like the caramel glows.
