Not true. The color of the pigment of the snake is based on the color of the pigment of the snake. Hypomelanism is a reduction or elimination of black pigmentation. The darker an animal would have been with its natural pigment, the brighter the color is when in a hypo form. So if it would have been high brown it is high yellow hypo. If it would have had a bunch of black it would be orange. That is why the black pastel and cinnamon pastel are strong projects for hypos. And all of the established hypo/ghost lines are the same thing genetically and have been proven so for over a decade. Bell, BHB, NERD, etc, all the same. What Greg and some other people have that they are calling hypo______, those are not, but all the traditional green, yellow, orange, etc, are the same thing and 100% compatible.

Pictured are adult bell line ghosts/hypos that have bred for me for years. Also pictured are their babies from a couple years. The adults are green and yellow, the babies are bright orange.
