Could some one tell me if this is a hypo morph or just a weird tangerine pattern on this snake? I got him last october and want to find a girlfriend for him in october at the NARBC show.

it looks too clear to be just a classic tangerine.In my opinion is a hypo.
Definitely not the greatest of photos, but from what I can see there, it looks too clean(no dark scale tipping, at least from what I can make out) to be a normal tangerine. It is probably a hypo. The pattern has nothing to do with it though, just the lack of dark pigment on the scale tips(melanin)that is on most all normals is the definition of hypomelanism.
....Nice!

sorry about the pick. there really isn't any scale tipping but he is only 5-6 months, so from what i hear they darken with age. what do you think would be good for pairing with him. i had a extreme hypo from lll reptile that i got in april but sadly she didn't make it. in fact she never ate at all and lasted about 3 months(but they said she was pounding pinkies). i know it will be a while before i get any eggs but i would like to have two animals that will be ready at the same time without paying an arm and a leg for the female. any suggestions?
