I'm looking into setting a Ball habitat and I was wondering if anyone has seen an albino Ball and maybe has some pictures of one. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

hey hey! slow down there ;) i'll get my friend to fax me over a copy today at work. If you want I could in turn fax it to you if a fax machine is open to you or I could scan it and email it. Which ever is easier :)

Since I got cable internet, I think my modem has rusted and withered away!!

And Ian, Dumeril's are too big and stinky. Why not just get a stupid Burm or Retic?? Ha ha!!

Alright here we go. The company is Stricly Reptiles, Inc and they deal mostly with zoo's and petstores and there list of animals/prices is always changing. For this week:

Ball Ghost Females: 2500
Ball Ghost Males: 1250

Their site is www.strictlyreptiles.tv

I apologize but my scanner is not working but their number is on the site and you can get them to directly fax you a list of what's available the pricing. Hope this helps...

Its a ghost (hypomelanistic) and not an albino (amelanistic). BIG difference. That's ok. Thanks anyways man. I have more albino photos coming too if you like.

Cheers

Here is my pair of Orange Ghosts. The female is from 1998 and the male is a 2001 baby. Both have the same mother but different fathers. IMHO the Orange Ghosts are the best looking of the different types of ghosts.

Enjoy the pic,
Corey
P.S. These 2 will also be out on display at the PCPC show on Sunday for those of you who are interested in seeing them.
