Just another view of the snake in question what do ya think Simon? Would have to be the lightest ghost I've ever seen!

I'd say ghost~

I have seen a lot of ghosts like that
but I haven't seen a lavender with that much yellow on the 'neck'

so my bet would be on the ghost~
but hey, you never know~
unless you breed it to prove it out~
I am 90% sure that its a ghost though~

I'm no expert, but that looks like about the nicest ghost I've ever seen! Be proud!

I thought so too Ken that's why I had to ask if it was maybe a lavender. Maybe the motley pattern somehow affects the color, but man it is so light and pink and the saddles are kinda frosted as well. Thanks anyways guys!

Hey you're definitely right here. The motley pattern does affect the coloration a bit. And I find that most ghost motleys have a lavenderish tone on it and that it has a lot of pink.
Now that you reminded me that yours is a ghost motley I am 100% sure that its a ghost motley and not a lavender motley~

But yeah a guy has to have dream~
there are times when breeders/pet stores that got the wrong snake and sold the animal as a lower value animal~

I have had a time when I got a lavender the breeder gave me a lavender motley~
LOL!!

Funny you should mention it Simon I did get this snake for a bit of a steal at a local pet shop. I traded a regular baby ball for it almost two years ago. Still not officially sexed as of yet but my guess is female due to size etc... but Simon when I do sex it do you have any mates available for it and if so how much am I lookin at? Thanks a lot!

So you'll be looking for a ghost motley?
I have a pastel motley for sale

Which I think will suit your female ghost motley (assuming that its a female) and trust me, those will throw you some awesome babies~

Well....it's 6:50am in the morning....so I guess this is where I find the time....LOL!!!

Here is the pastel motley male that I was talking about. Can't seem to take a good picture of it, but it has a lot more pink than this~ and I only had time to take 2 super quick shots....





What do you think of him?
