I don't really see much "hypo" going on, but rather it looks to me like it's taking on a lighter ontogenic change typical of many brooksi, versus some of the darker types of floridana.

Sort of like this youngster.

pic of her around early Sept.

pic of her taken early March, some of their changes can be anywhere from mild, to WILD!

I think it may be the same as the snake in this post

That will be interesting to see the future changes it makes.

Remember, keep that one Blaze in particular at a cooler temp, as I said in my previous post..LOL!........that one's INSANE!

Thanks again Doug
The unexpected twists and turns of genetics keeps things interesting!!! I can't wait to see what hatches this year!!!

All the "normal" sibs were flames of a sort with diffrent amounts of red and yellow. He was the only one that looked like this. Next year I'll breed him to a normal and raise up the babies.
