Looks like some hypo going on there. Might be a good idea to breed one to a "hypo a" and see what you get.

That's a good Ideah! I may have to do that. The parents look more like caramels or ambers. How do I post more than one pic on one post?

Sorry, it's Polk County Florida. I only kept two of the babies and let the rest of them go. I am not positive which is the Father because the mom was in a community cage at the time but all the snakes were locally caught. So regardless of which Father it was they are Local. I am pretty sure I know which is the Father by the looks of these babies but again can't say for sure. I will breed the suspected male to the female this year and keep all or most of the babies. Here is the Dad...I think?

Here is the other sibling. Both are males, but this one is a picky eater so it is smaller.

Wow!,......yes, those DEFINITELY look to be hypomelanistic. I would do as the other poster suggested and breed those to a "known" genetic hypo-(type A) as well to see if it is allelic. I would bet it is, but would want to know beyond the shadow of a doubt.

Those look extremely similar to this known hypo female of mine.

Those are awesome finds if you ask me!

I can't wait to start Breeding, this year has been colder than most so I should have better results even though corns and kings don't really need too much cold. Can't wait to see those Brooks of yours Too!
