Here is another extremely similar looking juvenile hypo Burmese (only lighter). Still, these so-called "experts" would have absolutely no idea of any possible heterozygous trait(s) the snake might possibly have anyway unless they knew the owner of where it escaped from and asked about it's genetic lineage..LOL!. Its definitely not a "granite" pattern or "labyrinth" mutation either, so all there is to go by is purely the outward visual look (homozygous phenotype) it is displaying in front of them (i.e. hypo). So the ridiculous assessment they dreamed up of $8k is still absurd for the larger one said to be an "albino", but the smaller one they found there the article did mention "a couple thousand".

In any case, here is an even lighter hypo juvenile next to it's normal phenotype sibling that went for $800 in May of this year, and I've seen other hypo's in the same range for $750, etc,...so that one found being larger it might possibly go for something like maybe $1000-1200 or so...*shrug*
