Ghost

From Leopard Gecko Wiki

Ghost aka Hypo Ghost

Ghosts or Hypo Ghosts belong to the "old school" colourmorphs. They have extremly faded colors and a greatly reduced dark pigmentation. These morph will show its true colors after they reach a size of 5 to 6 inches. Pure ghosts are hard to recognize as hatchlings. However, for the experienced breeder Mack Snow Ghost- hatchlings can be easily seperated from their normal MackSnow-clutchmates due to their lighter dark brown or dark violet colouration that develops into a "coffe&cream"-contrast within the next sheds..

The most popular Ghost-line was created by Alex Hue. The Ghosts popped up in his Hypo-line, and he soon recognized their difference: True Ghosts never show the typical bright yellowish colouration present in hypos. Instead, most Ghosts & Ghost-Kombos develop green shades that range from a very light hue over sea-green to a deep "millitary green". True Ghosts also lighten up and their colour fades - in comparison to most young hypos which get more brilliant and deeper in coulours each shed..

The Ghost-Gene acts dominant. The Ghost can be crossed into almost all other different morphs, and like enigma or W&Y he "changes" the look of other mutations.

2005,Ron Tremper described the Ghost as a "result of genetics" (p.159), and many breeders in the US & Europe who work with them for years share his findings.

The Ghost is for sure a class of its own...

Who is working with them?

- Dragoon Gecko is primarily working with & refining this line since 2007. Over the years they created new combos such as speckled Ghost, Lavender Stripe Ghost (2011) & Ghost Montanus Raptor (2012).
