This guy hatched yesterday. Looks a lot different than the other extremes I have.

Paul that looks great. I hope we see some with even wider bands one of these days.

These "extreme" hypos need to be bred X some of the darkest,heavy tipping normals out there, to try and work towards some heavy tipping or lots of black crossover animals. The more black, the more that awesome color the "extremes" show will be visible. That seems to make the "extreme" so neat looking. Get some of those WC adults-(imports) treat 'em, breed 'em with the "extremes". With the extremes coming out of the hypo line, and the hypo line seems to produce more vanishing pattern animals, so its more likely that extremes will be thin banded, or vanishing pattern-(look at the first known "extreme" that Kevin Hanley hatched), that thing is pretty much a vanishing pattern animal. Anyways, just my thought, Imagine an animal with lots and lots of tipping, that flesh-greyish color all the way tipped along the snake, that would be neat looking.

PS- picture is a hypo het-albino male from T. Dunham, this guy bred X a couple females this year, including a hypo het-albino female. I ahve 6 good eggs that ahtch in a week, I'm hoping for one of those hybinos...

Jeph,
Thats a killer hypo right there.Just for info Kevin didn't hatch the first extreme.His extreme was produced by Mike Falcon and he bought it in Daytona about four years ago.

Anyway,Awesome animal Man.

This female is het amel and was produced by applegate.I saw the parents and one was a very nice tangerine albino and the other is just a nice tangerine normal.
Go figure this was the only fugly one in the group and I snatched her right up.

thats a screamer Paul.Thats the ones I like with the wide bands.People tend to like pinners or v.p but I prefer the wide banded when it comes to the extreme's.It makes for such a nice contrast.

That is awesome. I agree with Shannon on this one, I like extremes with nice wide bands.

Great looking snake,
vinny
