Hhhhhmmmm...Hypo

Got it!

Wonder why some hypos have brown or purple bellies where it should be black, while others are nearly white like this one you guessed on.
May have to do with the super hypos that were crossed in a few years back. All the double het pastel x hypos I've seen have this coloration.

Any ideas?

I have a few ideas but I can't tell everyone. I will get those pics soon and his belly is black. I am actually going to get new pics of all of my kids here shortly, kind of tedious when you have this many. I also cheated on the guessing. I thought it as a hypo but it is labeled on your link.

what do you think of this belly?its not as reduced as the one pictured but shes a 66'r for mr.evans hypo the same line right?? also it seems like the black stripe is getting thiner as she grows,and has very little black if any as it is.
btw... ur site looks good bro. awsome collection of eye candy!! those red belly animals are the bomb!!

I think a lot of the bloodline is influenced by that female.
Thanks for the comments.
We will talk soon.

I was just checking out your site. You've got some great looking Hogs. Let's see a picture of the Calico Western and some of those baby Spiders. They are so cool!

Thanks for the comments.

Unfortunately the only pic of the calicos was featured in the June 2000 edition of Reptiles magazine. It was not a real good picture to begin with. Later on, better pics were taken but lost when Richard's computer crashed in 2005. I retrieved as many pics from his files yesterday, but nothing prior to Feb 2006.

The best description I can give on them was the fact that the originals 1.2,(all deceased now), had yellow and orange starbursts all over the dorsum. These starbursts were on both the pattern and background. They were a sight to see. The hets are nothing special at all- just a project to see if the genetics are recessive.

As far as spiders go, I have no new pics. Here are a few more recent pics. The yellow female in bottom pic was sired by the male Spider in the middle pic. She is half sibling to the spider F1 in first pic.

They are awesome. I can't wait to add one to my small, but growing collection.

Looks like a banded water snake ventral photo.
