if i bred a crimsion to a rosy hypo?

Crimson is a selevtively bred hypo.
I assume rosy hypo is a hypo upper keys corn (what use to be called rosy rat)?

If so - you would get hypos.

I decided my old sig was too big.

When you say "Rosy hypo", do you mean the natural variant from the Florida Keys known as Rosy Rats(rosacea), aka Key Corns?......if so, you'll probably get some nice intermediate animals(with some variations) that are het for hypo. Although Key Corns(rosacea)are very light and pale, and visually closely resemble a genetic hypo animal, they are really just a light colored, subdued patterned variety of normal corn from an extremely southern locale.

Now a "Crimson" is actually a hypo "Miami" phase animal, so you will definitely get ALL offspring that are het for the hypo trait. This is strictly going by "face-value", and is ONLY if the two snakes aren't het for other like traits(very unlikely though).

good luck with them!

You may not get hypo babies. Jeff Cochran bred two crimsons together and got ALL normal babies. The crimsons where from two two different hypo lines that are not compatible but you couldn't tell just by looking at them.
