What do you think of the Southern?

Here's a southern triple het I will probably be getting from a buddy of mine. Its oddly colored for a southern don't you think?
Hypo maybe?
Thanks

She doesn't look like what you would usually call "normal". There are normal southerns that have the rusty blotches and even some with a pinkish ground. The thing that looks most unusual to me is the goldish pigment seen laterally towards the anterior part of the snake. This is a color common on the patternless phase. I wonder if all of the unexpressed (het) genes are doing something a little unexpected. It does have an overall "hypo" type of look to it. It would certainly be a fun project to combine and recombine to see what happens.
