I would like to start a discussion about sinaloan milksnake morphs.

I saw on a website hypoerythrystic ones, and from time to time we all see striped, abberant and paternless forms.

This time, I would like to show possible hypomelanistic animal. It is difficult to show his true colors - I made several pics and the colors don't do justice even on my monitor screen.

The blacks are washed away, like on hypo animals. On top, the color is darker, on the ventral surface it is much lighter, I would say light brownish-gray.



It was not crossed with any of other species - this baby (male) just poped out in normal clutch. I don't know his genetic background - I want to check in future.



Let me know what do you think about this.

Jeff Schofield wrote his interesting thougs in this topic:

I would like to hear some more opinions about this from other people also.



Best regards

Lukasz
