Silver Queen

These are absolutely the best ghosts that I have seen around~
They are just beauties! The colors are amazing!

These photos show nothing close to how good they look in real life. If I can keep these back I'll definately do that. If not the one that gets these is going to be absolutly happy about buying them off me. I might just plan on keeping these back...but if the price is right and all. Also I am sure that they're able to breed in 2005. They are almost up to size in 2004....so I am sure that 2005 they'll be ready~

I might have to get rid of them soon~
I am starting to plan in 2-3 years time things so might have to start selling the whole collection soon~ so might have to sell these 2003 hatchlings soon~
we'll see what happens...

Trust me on this one Jeff.
They look WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better than these photos. These photos sucks if you compare to what they look like in real life~
Only if they can show their true color in the photo you'll really be dropping your mouth~
lol

Can see hints of pink in the saddles. Is it just the paler coloration and less yellow that makes these 'silver queen' instead of regular ghosts? I am suprised by how dark the black borders are on the saddles of this one - they are thin but quite dark. Very pretty animal - thanks for sharing,

Mary,

Well at first these silver queens were actually quite a problem. We had no idea what it was but we're sure that they are quite different from the normal standart looking ghost. They have more of a silverish coloration on them and as you have mentioned...much paler. All we know was that it was for sure anery 'a' and hypo genes that was the make up of this snake. But until recently we have found at least 3 types of hypo genes right now.
1) the regular hypo (hypo a)
2) translucent hypo (hypo b)
3) ultra hypo (hypo c)
4) dram hypo (this kind of looks like a normal hypo...and not proven yet)
5) sunkissed hypo (hypo d)

So we now know that the silver queens are acutally an anery 'a' with one of those different hypos. We don't konw for sure what the hypo genes is yet (well at least I don't know yet) but they look quite different and I'd say for sure that it's a different variation of ghost. At least not the normal run of the mill 'normal ghost'
