Ghost questions

[Pythonfriend]

that is called a flame, when the white from the belly comes up into the areas where there is no pattern nearby.

for many morphs, lots of flames are a sign of high quality, people breed for it, for some morphs flames are one of the identifying traits.

no problem at all, quite the contrary, its a sign of a high quality normal. i say normal because hypo reduces the black pigment, but hypo/ghost does not affect the pattern or the blushing or the flames.

so this is not a problem at all. it is very nice. what i see is a hypo with a nicely reduced pattern and some flames going on. the flame and the reduced pattern is a bonus, people selectively breed for it, all in all i say you have an awesome hypo/ghost female there. for a breeding project with hypo/ghost, this is a really good female, definitively worth breeding when you have the right male. its a really nice visual hypo female, and as such, many breeders would value it as very useful, especially when you want to work with the hypo/ghost gene.

i think some lines of hypo/ghost are incompatible, but these are not that frequent. i would still ask and try to figure out which line it is. there are the mainstream hypos that are generally compatible with each other, you probarbly have one of those, so it will be completely compatible with "orange ghost" and "butterscotch" and a few other lines, including the rest of the mainstream unlabeled hypo/ghosts. but there are some rare lines that are in fact incompatible with the mainstream.

im like 98% sure that you have a common line of hypo, but in any case, i would still bugger the breeder. if the breeder has any information on the parent snakes and the lineage, get it. if the breeder has pictures of the parent snakes, or siblings/ clutch mates or pictures of the clutch, get them. retrieve all the information you can. when you breed, and you have lots of information on mom and dad, you can give your customers lots of information, and they will appreciate it.
