Hmmm you may need to quantify this statement for me please.



I consider the HYPO GENE to REPLACE black not diminished black. There are LOTS of examples of diminished black(Thayeri, Mole kings, etc). When the black is replaced with a grayish...like the examples mentioned(Hondo, Pueblan, Cal king, desert king,etc). The Red milk HYPO gene is something else completely it only has the name HYPO because it has been around so long.

"To LOOK for that gene in another mixed locale??"

I'm sorry Jeff is there a question here? Help me understand it if there is.



It was supposed to be obliviously redundant. Why else would you look for the same "gene" in a mixed locale??

"I think this is "Just" a NICE normal eastern similar to some of the NICE mole kings or thayeri that LACK BLACK but simply dont represent that same HYPO gene."

Fair enough, you could be right, I haven't seen many t. triagulum, but it could still be a hypo. I'd love to see this snake in person, the photos are sure making it look like a hypo.



Dell, it may be, but I am not considering it after 1 pic. There are MANY snakes to be seen in person, alot of things are alot more obvious.



One more thing Jeff, when you WRITE words out in capitals it reads like YOUR YELLING THEM. Let's try and be CIVIL here Jeff, were all friends, stop YELLING.



I'm w/ you too, on all the NA milk talk going on right now. Sounds good, let's keep it up.

L.t.taylori -Dell



Dell, I am NOT yelling, I capitalize when I want to emphasize the word. There is no inflection with email, so I do THIS. I think most people understand, I have been doing it forever. I am always CIVIL, and if you know I am NEVER yelling you can read me. I think you understand more than you are saying with the HYPO bit, how would you explain the Red Milk HYPO gene vs other genetic anomalies?
