Ghost-2010

Ghost (no aka)
Most Commonly Used Name: Ghost
Mode of Genetic Inheritance:
Recessive
Morph Type: Mutation Compound (Anery + Hypo A)
Eye Color:  Black pupil & body ground colored iris (usually silver or pale blue)

 

This compound recessive morph results from combining the two recessive color mutations, Anery and Hypo A.  The finished genetic product reminds one of a pale or “ghostly” version of the Anery mutation (which of course, is precisely what it is).

 

What to expect:
Hatchlings are essentially miniatures of their adult form, unlike most corn snake mutations that dramatically morph from hatchling to adult.  Like many Anery types, the carotenoid yellow retained from their diet – manifests with maturity, therefore, will not be seen in the neonates.  Some will acquire more yellow than others.  Like their Anery counterparts, adult males have an overall coloration of earth tones, but females very rarely exhibit such coloration.  Most adult females are varying shades of gray and black, while males are usually anything between tan and brown in color overtones.  Of course, there are exceptions where some males will not have earth tones and some females will.  Such exceptions are very rare in the base mutation, Anery.

Important Note:
The advertising images on our web site are representations of the average adult example of each morph.  These images are not renderings of the actual animals being offered, (except for uniquely offered snakes found in the SURPLUS section of this web site).  We do not provide pictures of individual hatchling snakes for sale, nor do we recommend that you ever choose a new pet based on an image of its neonatal form.  Corns change so dramatically from hatchling to adult, they will NEVER have the same colors or contrasts throughout maturity. While most of the snakes we produce will mature to resemble the featured adult image(s) on our web site, unlike manufactured products that are respectively clones of each other, the nature of polygenic variation results in each animal being similar but not identical to others of its morph. The snake we select for you may not mature to be identical to the pictured examples, but will be chosen based on our experience of observing which neonates will mature to properly represent their respective morph.  We take this responsibility very seriously, and therefore publish the guarantee that we will exchange your SMR snake if it does not mature to be like our advertised examples.
