That is very sharp looking I'd say.

is that a male or female hypo?

i'd like to know a little more about the breeding of this particular morph. how do you get them to reproduce? i would think that once the breeders catch on these will be a dime a dozen... and every crack head will want/have one...

even though i have laid off the morphs, the thought of a red and blue hypo (!!!) aka blue flame was certainly interesting. but of course, i read all of your posts for sheer entertainment value and edification!

When people would ad or inject their feeder items with Nekto-rep to enhance the reds in there snakes? It seemed to be a common practice at a locale pet shop I helped out in as a kid back in the mid 80's.

I wonder if people are still doing this. I hope not! Hope this doesn't give anyone any ideas. It isn't worth it, yes it enhances the color of the snake but kind of looks like you sprayed them down with fake tan.

i apologize if i am incorrect, but i think i saw something like this mentioned in the indigo forum recently...
well, for better or worse some animals need to consume carotenoids (or whichever pigment required)to maintain their color or the fade. i think zoos that keep scarlet ibis need to fortify their diet in order to maintain their color.
