Yep....I think Floridana are probably an exception to the rule since they do not always have melanin, xanthin and erythrin like a tricolored king or milk.....and they go through an ontogenetic change with pattern and color.......



I always thought a hypomelanistic brooksi was merely a reduced black pattern not reduced pigmentation like in Hondurans.....



A hypo Brooksi or Floridana trait is more similar to an Applegate Pyro that has black pigment, but it is reduced in pattern....The black is black on some hypo Floridana, but the black pattern is reduced......



I have a few Thayeri that have real reduced black pattern/area, but they are not hypos they are just reduced black since the black is black and not gray/silver as with the hypo tricolors....



And Anery Hondos are probably Hypoerythristic and not Anerythristic... Since there is some red (pink) pigmentation.... The red is not replaced with non pigment (the absence of pigment) just reduced pigment......



But people are set with the names already given....I don't want to change them...I just wanted to share some of my opinions....
