I bred a patternless yellow one of these to a ghost brooks and expected em all to be hypo het ghost with maybe some orange or patternless mixed in. I got 5 normal hypos and one different one. It looks like some kind of double morph. Now I dont know exactly what they put in to make the hypo goini brooks at the Bells, shoot I dont think they know. Any guesses? I am talking of course about the yellow one.

I had this happen to my eastern x hypo brooks. I got a couple of these super light ones.

My only guess is there is a melanistic gene floating around the the eastern I used and probably your goini has thgat as well.

That light snake you have pictured will get even lighter as an adult.

Rainer, are you suggesting that "reverse" melanism creates the Bells "super hypos"? Remember this breeding was not using typical hypos, and what is different should be a clue to what they used to make em. I dont think they are blaze x hypos, and they are not "simple recessive" according to them. The forms are sexually dimporphic, all the "normal" hypos are female and this guy is a male. Any comparison shots about what you are talking?

super hypo?

The only thing I remember were those weird ones (id they call them super hypos??). At this years Expo the mgr for the Bells told me they were crosses and not pure floridana. That is if, the super hypos are the same thing we are referring to (?).

I knew that all along though.

Whatever it is that you have there I hope you raise it up and breed it.

I know they used to have something called "super hypo", but I havent been to a show they have in years. We know "they arent pure", thats the title of the thread after all! It would have been preferable for the little bugger in question to be a female to be bred back to the father.....but cool males are great too.

This little guys head pattern is similar to the fathers.

This is a immature pic, but a good head shot
