Overview

This genetic test assesses the MLPH c.4919_4923del variant associated with Ghost / Hypo / Orange Ghost in ball pythons. This phenotype is linked to a lighter, more diluted brown-to-black appearance and shed skin that contains very little pigment. The result helps determine whether the tested animal is free, carrier or positive for the tested variant. Other colour genes can still influence the final appearance.
