    Re: "White" patterned ball pythons?

I'm so used to horse genetics that BP genetics are all way over my head currently.
    No, ghosts are their own thing. Pretty, but not black-and-white like that. But when you combine it with axanthic, it helps keep the brown away. It's called a "true ghost", an axanthic ghost. That's hard to do, because axanthic and ghost are both recessives. Way easier to work a dominant gene like pastel or fire or enchi into an axanthic line.

    I can't really think of anything else that's really white-and-black-and-gray like that. I mean, you can also check out the panda pied, though there's still only two in the world, and they're currently running $20,000. (Guys, what does the adult lightening pied look like? It really didn't brown out at all?)

    Oh wait: urban camo. Google urban camo ball python. Yeah.
