About this product
Baby Pastel Ghost Ball Python — 299+ sold. In stock at Morphdirect.
The Baby Pastel Ghost Ball Python is a captive-bred morph combining the Pastel and Ghost genes for a unique, high-contrast appearance. This juvenile snake is for keepers seeking a visually striking, manageable pet python. It offers predictable growth and a docile temperament typical of the species. We added this morph to our catalog in summer 2025 and have found the breeder to be reliable with consistently positive feedback.
Stand-Out Features
- Distinctive Coloration: The Pastel gene brightens the typical browns, while the Ghost (Hypo) gene reduces black pigment, creating a clean, high-contrast "blushed" pattern with soft pastel yellows and muted grays.
- Proven Temperament: Handled regularly, this juvenile displays the calm, manageable disposition Ball Pythons are known for, making it suitable for attentive beginners and experienced keepers.
- Captive-Bred & Feeding: This is a captive-bred animal, not wild-caught. It is established on frozen/thawed rodent prey, simplifying care and reducing stress.
- Investment Potential: As a double-gene morph, it holds value for hobbyist breeding projects focused on enhancing color and pattern in future generations.
- Complete Setup Available: We stock all necessary enclosure kits, heating, and husbandry supplies to ensure a proper start.

Your Questions Answered
What does "Ghost" mean in this morph?
The "Ghost" is a Hypomelanism gene. It reduces the black and brown melanin pigments, resulting in a cleaner, lighter base color and allowing the Pastel yellow to appear more vibrant. The combination creates a snake that appears "washed out" or softened compared to a normal Ball Python.
Is this snake handled before shipping?
Yes. Our staff conducts a health check and brief handling session prior to packing. This allows us to verify temperament and ensure the animal is alert and responsive. We follow strict protocols to minimize stress during this process.
What are the primary care requirements?
Key needs include a secure enclosure with a thermal gradient (88-92°F hot side, 78-80°F cool side), humidity around 50-60% (higher during shed), at least two snug hides, and a consistent feeding schedule of appropriately sized frozen/thawed rodents every 5-7 days for a juvenile.
