Asked a question in this section a while back about exactly WHAT a ghost boa consisted of. Got the answer it is basically a mix of anery and hypo, both visual in the same snake.

Am seriously considering getting myself one of these and in all honestly would be more than happy with him/her being single all its life.

However, out of curiosity what would be a good snake to breed a ghost boa to for some nice results??

Any suggestions...?

Ta,
Gary.

The only difference between a tattooed person and a person who isn't tattooed is that a tattooed person doesn't care if you're tattooed or not.

another ghost boa.

Super ghosts are very nice, very clean snakes.

And yes Ghost is hypo/salmon and anery.

Just searched for some piccys of super ghosts and your right...very nice indeed!!

Are there any other options?

Obvously there are snakes that will give anery and also hypo...but any others??

I suppose you could try and work a pattern in there, genetic stripe or something, but it's already a double-recessive morph. Generally ghost is something people aim towards, not worry about what to breed their ghost with.

Put it this way:

Breed your ghost to another, you'll get anery, hypo and poss super ghosts boas along with normals, what more could you want from one clutch!

noooo problemo.

Personally..if it was me... I'd look to work in some kind of pattern mutation.

I thought i was gettin to grips with this genetics but clearly not!!

So, how would you go about that then? Would it be a case of getting a genetic stripe, breeding it to a ghost and crossing your fingers??

...or does it involve going further down the line and breeding the offspring from a ghost x stripe??

My head hurts asking these questions, nevermind trying to work out the answer

If you had the money I would go with a sunglow, that would produce a nice mixed litter.

so if you breed a ghost you will get hypo, anery, normals and ghosts will they be het for ghost? just i thought if you breed two ghost's together you only get supers or pos supers same as hypos. Thanks just i am hopefully getting one soon and am now completly stumped

As anerythristic is recessive, breeding a ghost to a ghost should get you:

25% Anerythristic
50% Ghost
25% "super" Ghost

However, it's possible you won't be able to distinguish the "super" ghosts from the ghosts - Salmon appears to act more like a dominant gene than a codominant one, and it may be that a double-dose "super" ghost will look very similar to a single-dose Ghost.
