Default A few weeks on and I still dont know what these corns are...

Original thread here: http://www.reptileforums.co.uk/snake...pic-heavy.html

Thought they were ghosts...

Here they are now:


number 1


number 2


Anery from same clutch for comparison.

Any thoughts? Feel free to ask me any questions to help with what these are...

They still look like ghosts to me.

Could you take a macro shot of one of the light-coloured ones' eyes in sunlight? If they're lavender-based they should have flecks like freckles around the pupil, but if they're not then the eye should be more of a solid colour or a smooth blended colour.

Yes I'll try to get those for you this afternoon, hopefully my camera is up to it!

I'm going to hold these two back to see how their colours develop anyway, but I'm pretty sure these arent just 'light anerys'.

If they are ghosts the that would mean the lavender I paired to my ghost just happened to be het ghost... but there is something strange about these two...

I would agree with Ghost, which means both your parents where het hypo (or visually hypo)

The parents were a ghost and a lavender... so that would mean the lavender happened to be het ghost.

I suppose, but when I first put it up as a ghost, loads of people told me it wasnt ...

Hope this helps (:
