I didn't even think about that, but yes, it does appear to be very similar to the lavender corn snakes!!! my guess is that I somehow think it's more than simply a hypo Scott, because hypo removes melanin to some degree, but not color itself. In fact most of the time a hypomelanistic animal is actually more colorful than a normal because the colors show through the reduced levels of melanin better. which would not explain how the snake is lacking all of it's brown/red/yellow pigments. Just my speculation!!! whatever the case it's one of my favorite morphs out there... can't wait for my pair of double het silver/ west virginia anery!
