Well, it really doesn't look to be a hypomelanistic corn to me. Even the strong flash from the camera didn't wash-out the thin black borders on the saddle blotching. It's black pattern is somewhat reduced, but is still very black looking. There are many naturally-found cornsnakes that fall into this category too.

Here is a hypo corn I have here right now. Note the very milky translucent coloring on what would normally be the black borders.



here is another very reduced black pattern corn, but it isn't technically a hypo. It could esily be passed-off as a hypo by looks alone, but it is simply a very reduced pattern animal, but wouldn't pass this on to all the young if it were bred to another hypo.



This is the above youngster's very dark, and red wild-caught mother, so I know her above offspring that looks similar to a hypo, really isn't a hypo, it's black pattern is just very reduces as compared to many other types of corn.
