Pastel Hypo Head with Hypo body???

casnakes Jul 03, 2009 12:14 PM

I've never seen this before, and I'm trying to figure out what it is. He has the head of a Pastel Hypo and the body color and pattern of a regular Hypo?? There are several areas of lighter/washed out orange color, especially along his back. There is a picture of him alone, a picture of him with a sibling Hypo, and another picture of him with a Pastel Hypo sibling and Hypo sibling. Is he a Pastel Hypo or just a Hypo? Please let me know what you think.

I think that head gives it away as being a pastel hypo but I'm no expert in the pastel hypo field.

I'd say it's a Pastel Hypo -- have they gone through their first shed yet? Maybe as it grows it will become more evident what it is(?) Or if all else fails -- breed it out!!
