There is a lot of variation in easterns to the amount of yellowish versus the amount of black/brown and pattern variation of shell, it's doubtful that it would really fit the true visual definition of hypo, and then it would be even more unlikely and even harder to prove that it would be a heritable trait which would be an even better characterization of "hypo", however the term hypo is used pretty loosely on the kingsnake classified from what I have seen, so personally I would say calling a light colored EBT that you found a hypo would really be a premature misnomer, but then again like I said the term hypo has been used so loosely that it really has lost it's value, especially in the turtle word as far as I'm concerned. IMHO.
