Not sure what is going on with this male. Has a different look that the normal hypo but faded. Origin was from a 3x het X 3x het.
Kind of a neat look.

Hi Adam,

That is very cool and different. Are the eyes red? Melanistic Extreme?

Seeya in Chicago,

Thanks!

very cool Adam, its actually more common than you think its just the first time I have seen it with the extreme colors.Its just going to be a bi-color.Its not melanistic or it would also be taking over the base coat of orange and its not.

Yeah,... pretty unusual for the animal to keep the "bi-colored" look of melanin, and be VERY hypo at the same time!!...usually when the melanin is reduced to that point, the animal's pattern is "cleaned up" as well.

Very cool animal! that's very unique!!....good luck with it!

Pearly-cane! I imagine that color is really hard to get to show accurately here. I was wondering what happened to you Dmong! Since you’re back, I know you are a Ft. Lauderdale guy too so maybe you know the answer to this question I posed on another forum...
Do you remember when there was a small zoo out at Markham Park? They had a lion at one time. I use to get rats from the guy who was curator of reptiles out there, I think his name was Roger Womack, or something like that. Anything to you? Nice to see you posting again, good luck with the new kids!

The name "rings a bell", but I can't really elaborate with any info. Every time I went to Markham Park it was to go shooting with my dad with an arsenal of weaponry at the gun range they had there!!

Good to here from you again man, I'd like to meet up with you sometime!!
Oh, check out one of the four "ghost" Hondurans I got at the Daytona expo(among other animals). Ghosts don't come much nicer than the one I posted on the milksnake forum,....ALL of them were VERY nice and "clean", with a nice faded look, but that one female really is very exceptinal...she's WAY nicer than the photo portrays. When her genetics gets introduced to the "screamer" extreme hypo male I have,...the offspring(at least a few) should be simply outstanding!!!!!

Take care buddy, and I'll see you on the forum!

Hey, I meant to post that under the Ghost picture, oops. That's what I was writing about. I think the Markam Park gun range might have even been after the zoo closed, but it would have been basically across the road from that in the park way back when. I remember he use to have a big everglades rat that he would feed about ten mice in a row and it would just come up to the edge of the aquarium and chow like a gator eating marshmallows! I was wondering whatever happened to him.
Take care, good to see you back.

You know, it looks a bit darker than the "regular extremes". It has been my contention that the HYPO and the "extreme" gene have been expressed many times concurrently and has therefore muddied up some of the "extreme" lines and that some are "extreme HYPOS"(I still think it would be much easier to call them lavenders and HYPOS and therefore I could say that there are some LAVENDER HYPOS rather than "double hypos". I think we may be to the point where we can prove it out, but that one looks very much like a single "extreme" gene. Its ok, I like to be proved wrong,lol,Jeff

That is nice Adam. I actually have a female that I don't even think she is hypo but her pattern is brown instead of black but that one is really nice. Don
