is there any visual way to identify a hybino yet? i produced an orange on orange(no red) albino with reduced white..looks all washed out

Some people have said when compared to a another clutch sibling, the suspected hybino(s) can tend to look a bit paler orange, or a creamy/orange compared to the other regular amels, but it still is by no means a definite identification since snakes are highly variable anyway,...but it "might" help in trying to pick out the suspected hybino's of a clutch to prove-out later on.

Really though, unless you know for certain with a specific breeding, or have already done a test breeding to "prove" them out already, you just cannot tell by looking at them.

Maybe someone else can chime in and add some of what they have witnessed personally pertaining to this as well.

Agreed, I have a few that I know are Hybino through breeding and once you KNOW, you can kinda tell vs. siblings or others. But its still not an exact thing at all....

That is a REAL nice V/P for sure!, but like Shannon said below, unless two hypo parents produced it, so the hypo gene was CERTAIN to be passed to ALL offspring in homozygous form(one amel copy from each parent), there is just simply no way of knowing.

Thats a great looking hondo but there is no way to tel just by looking at it if its a "hybino" or just a albino.Only,and only if the adults where both hypos could you say for sure it was and I don't care how dull or pale or washed out it looks.I have produced a pretty good amount of known hybinos and several I would never guess would be and vise versa.
Regardless, its a very nice v.p. amel and you should be proud of it.

What where the parents genetic makeup?

here are a couple known hybinos I produced last year.
