If I recall correctly, the Love “Brooks Canal” stock were famously fine light examples, some would consider “hypo” but were sold as basically normal, just really good ones. It was when the noticeably different ones popped out that the “hypo” tag had to apply. The Love line were simply inbred to refine their “lightness” (hypomelanistic), the Beard line was from a wild caught hypomelanistic? I think that was bred into every available Brooks to mass produce the “hypo” strain, including some “Love” Brooks. (Maybe even some regular “Florida” types too) I would like to see those Love lines preserved and not mixed with everything else, although they are compatible, they might be the finest real Brooks ever produced. Could say the same for their Hypo Everglades Rats and Tangerine Dream Hondurans. Too bad Kathy didn't maintain these lines along with her corn snakes.
