Re: ghost morphs
Ghost is one of those genes that looks good on just about anything, ofcourse that is debatable, but most people will agree. It is a recessive color effecting morph, so pretty much just pick a gene that you like the pattern of, just remember ghost is recessive, so if you get/have a visual ghost .... whatever you breed it to will also need to carry the ghost gene whether it be another visual or a Het .... otherwise you will just end up with a bunch of Het ghost babies

Re: ghost morphs
I have an 0.1 Enchi Hypo that I have paired with 1.0 Lesser het Hypo. I've got a few other hypo and het hypo males and females that I am still growing up. Like Deborah said you want to pair with something that is at least het hypo. Best of luck and I look forward to pictures when you get your Ghost.

The Enchi Hypo is a great combination. You can ask Deborah about her Blade Enchi Hypo het Clown. Speaking of Hypo Clowns, they are really great looking and one of the projects I am getting into. The project that I am really excited about right now is my Hypo Pied project. You can ask rlditmars to see a picture of the one that he recently got. If you need more inspiration, just look at this thread by lyfoti05 (http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...-Hypo-Pairings) who is doing some awesome work with the Hypo gene.

Re: ghost morphs
I was looking through the morph market to see what can be produced with the ghost gene and I'm really digging the humblebee

Are you looking to do a long term project to tinker and just get the experience? The reason I ask is because with the ghost male you just purchased in order to get a humble bee the female would need to be a bumblebee Het ghost in order to produce a humble bee, and quite frankly for what you would pay for a bumblebee Het ghost ... you could spend an extra 50 to 80 bucks and just buy the humble bee
Humble bee = pastel/spider/ghost genes
Bumblebee = pastel/ spider genes
Pastel is a (Co-Dominant) gene
Spider is a (Dominant) gene
Both of these genes only require one of the parents to carry the gene in order to produce the gene
Ghost is a (Recessive) gene
With a Recessive gene both of the parents need to carry the gene in order to produce a visual specimen of the gene .... there is a non visual version of a recessive gene which is called a Het .. a Het carries the gene but it cannot be seen
It gets deeper than that but I'm not going to type up a whole lesson on genetics
You have a visual ghost
The genetic's are quite confusing at first but once you learn how they work it is a breeze ..... Here you go:

Re: ghost morphs
I do actually want it to be a long term project, I think it would be cool to say I started with this particular snake and over the course of time I produced this really beautiful snake with time and dedication.
