I would love to see some hypo bredli pics. How many different lines of hypos are there and are they all the same or are some better than others? Is the hypo trait co-dominant or recessive?
I could but for 2 things, firstly I dont know how to post pics (so ill read up, I see people ask all the time) and secondly my photo's arent that great.
But on the other hand my hypo's are pretty damn good
I am so jealous of Australian keepers, we dont have any hypos over here. I hatched a female three years ago that looked very much like a hypo but as it aged it gained black pigment. she is still a great looking snake but I dont think at this point shes a hypo, at least not like the ones you have down there.
This pic is of the one I hatched when she was about 6 months old.
Are there differrent genetic lines or are they all descended from one founder animal?
NickM - post some pics of her as an adult - ideally a hypo would have no black pigment but it is not necessary to have no pigment to be hypo.
Hypomelanism is a deficiency in the levels of black pigment - so reduced levels whilst still holding some pigment could still be considered Hypo to a degree
NickM, wow if that animal still looks anything like that then that's as hypo as we are ever going to see. It is a beautiful snake.
This one is 2 1/2 and has not a single dot of black.
