I meant to say I will never keep anything with the Stillwater Hypo gene again.



Its just my opinion and I know some others that feel the same way.



I have owned 3 different pairs of Stillwater Hypos and a group of Red X Stillwater Hypos.

The first pair I owned looked healthy as hatchlings. But as they aged, they devolved kinks and knotted spines. One of them slept on its back. The first time seen that I thought it was dead but when I went to grab it, sprung to life. The other sibling crawled backwards instead of forward.

The second pair I had just up and died about the one year mark. plus they crawled funny on occasion. They just acted a little off.

The 3rd pair seemed totally fine. But every time I got eggs, they would go full term and die in the egg. That happen 2 years in a row.

I have heard similar thing from other people. I get emails from people asking the same questions. The most often question. Do you know why my Stillwater Hypo would just died randomly when all seem well.



I didn't see as much problems with my Kingsville X Stillwater crosses early on. Probably because they where outcrossed. But I did see little signs with each generations passed. 3rd generations deformity's and full term non hatching.



There was a reason people started calling them Golden Hypos. Because they recognized the weakness of the gene. So they outcrossed to make them stronger, plus they where no longer Locality animals.



I think they are beautiful animals. This is just my opinion and experiences. I sure there are people out there that have different opinions and experiences.
