Desert Ghost Ball pythons??

Lavander albinos are not a combo morph.

OOOOPS

Actually most are found in the wild then they breed them to normals and breed back the babies if they aren't Dom or Codom to see if it is recessive.

LoL, I was just referring to there origination... not the means to prove out codom, dom or recessive.

I know what you meant.

Most of them originated in the wild.

Sorry for the confusion.

Yes. Almost every single mutation is found in the wild.....Ive seen WC albinos .....Pieds.....spiders.....ETC.

Im actually breeding desert ghosts now and Mark and Kim bell were the ones who proved out the first desert ghost in 2003 and then produced their own line in 2006 . After that NERD ( New England Repile Distributors) created their own line.

Ghost and axanthic equals True Ghost.......and to my knowledge, one does not even exist yet

To my knowledge the desert ghost is a single recessive gene. The only way to get one is to have two snakes hold the het for them or visual. The desert ghost is a mystery for sure. I have a snake in my collection that is suppose to be a desert ghost but when I look at it. it looks like a True ghost. This year I will start to prove it out, what ever it ends up being. my hopes is that I hit jack pot and it is in fact a desert ghost. I showed pics of it to a major breeder and he too is unsure what he could be. he knows it is not any line of the ghosts gene. His thoughts is that if it isn't a desert or true ghost, I have hit on a totally new morph.
only time will tell as the breeding season is about to start, and I have big plans for him.
