Lemonblast Ghost Ball Python
About this product
Lemonblast Ghost Ball Python — 107+ sold. In stock at Morphdirect.
The Lemonblast Ghost Ball Python combines the bright yellow blushing of the Lemonblast with the subtle, faded pattern of the Ghost morph. This is a proven, intermediate-level morph for breeders looking to add clean coloration and pattern reduction to their projects. Since arriving on our shelves in mid-2024, this combination has shown a low return rate—customers consistently receive healthy, well-started animals that match their genetic expectations.
Stand-Out Features
- Enhanced Coloration: The Lemonblast influence produces vibrant yellow blushing along the spine, which contrasts with the Ghost's softened, high-contrast pattern.
- Proven Genetics: This is a double co-dominant morph (Pastel + Pinstripe + Ghost) with predictable, reproducible results in breeding projects.
- Excellent Feeding Response: We start all our ball pythons on frozen-thawed rodents. This animal has a strong, consistent feeding record.
- Calm Temperament: Handled regularly, this snake displays the typical docile nature expected from the species, making it manageable for intermediate keepers.
- Breeding Potential: The Ghost gene is recessive, allowing you to create hidden hets or visual Ghost combos when paired with other morphs.

Your Questions Answered
How yellow will this snake become as an adult?
The Lemonblast (Pastel Pinstripe) base typically retains strong yellow pigmentation into adulthood, especially along the dorsal blushing. The Ghost gene will soften the black pigment, allowing those yellows to remain clean and bright without browning out. Expect a high-contrast adult with reduced pattern and clear coloration.
What is the difference between 'Ghost' and 'Hypo' in ball pythons?
In ball pythons, 'Ghost' and 'Hypomelanistic' (Hypo) refer to the same genetic trait—a reduction in black melanin pigment. The names are used interchangeably. This is a recessive gene, so breeding two visual Ghosts together will produce 100% visual Ghost offspring.
What should I breed this to?
This animal excels in projects aiming for pattern reduction and color clarity. Pairing it with another visual Ghost will produce all Ghost offspring. Breeding to other co-dominant morphs like Mojave, Lesser, or Butter will create double and triple morph combinations where the Ghost gene cleans up and brightens the results. It's also an excellent candidate for creating designer combos like Lemonblast Ghost Clown or Lemonblast Ghost GHI.
