No doubt a Stillwater Hypo and a fine looking one at that.

I suppose that I can't rule out that yours are from outcrossed Stillwater lines. There is no doubt that they are very light. The things that I don't see are the lightened centers on the saddles and the overall carmely (sorry, I can't think of another word) tones to them, particularly on the eye stripe. It could just very well be the light that they were in when the pic was taken.

Here's a picture from Jason's site that I overlayed atop yours for comparison. (sorry I keep using you Jason. You have too many nice pics). The hypo is the one with its head towards the bottom pointing to the right (the others are a yellow and a red). If you notice, the saddles on the front third have very light centers and there's that "carmely" wash to the whole snake. Unfortunately you can't see the eye stripe very well in this pick, but even the head is washed out. I'm going to assume by the appearance of Jason's animals that the Stillwater line was used, but only he can tell us for sure.
