The "True Ghost"

[jknudson]

After YEARS of waiting, are we finally seeing the "True Ghost"...? I think I'll have to make my opinion after I see it completely out of the egg, but I think The Snake Keeper hit on this 1 in 16!

Woohoo! Finally get to see a combo of two recessives that have been around forever! Congrats TSK!

What defines the True Ghost? Hypo and something else? (Sorry to be uninformed. )

It's the double homozygous form of a Hypomelanistic and Axanthic.

Hey thanks for the info. The snake looks pretty wonderful. I can't WAIT to have my own baby at the end of this summer....

It has ghost corn colors!!! Whooot!, that might be a project to get into.

That is awsome. I wonder what day that egg is on. It may still develop some color, but I hope that is it. These are exciting times.

p.s. I also hope I have one of those in the incubator. I got about 14 days till I get to cut mine.

Beautiful! I'm glad the day has finally come.

Good Luck Tim! I hope you get one too.

I was really hoping you would be the first one tim, but oh well! Good luck bro! Post lots of pics!

Tim -- I was wondering what day it was on as well -- those last few days and then after the shed -- could really add a bit of color -- but we'll have to see - looks cool!

Best of luck on yours as well -- what line axanthic are you working your project with? You may still be able to produce the first VPI true ghost
