I was enjoying the picture of Dougs' corn but couldn't post mine at the time. I have some third generation out of the wild animals that i really like. These are from where I live in N. Fla. Here is one of them.

Here's the belly.

This is a picture of a sibling from the year before.

and one of her babies.(These guys are eating great)

Nice looking Corns! I have some similar ones from Central Florida that I have been working with for a few years also. Years ago i would have called these hypos for sure but now I am leaning toward Hypo-ish. It is actually more of a reduction in the black parts of their pattern. In a true hypo the black is replaced by a lighter color sometimes looking brown or even may have a purple tinge to it. Here are a couple of my Polk County Floridas and then the last one is a true hypo for comparison.

Thanks. Your photo by comparison does seem significantly different from the actual hypo.
