I picked this girl up yesterday and she was labeled as a Hypo Peanut Butter. I’m not confidant of that but for the price I got her at even if she does not prove out it won’t be that bad.

looks like a normal florida kingsnake baby, is it a het hypo peanut butter maybe?

Well it doesn't look normal to me. However it doesn't look like a peanut Butter either. Very interesting none the less. Good luck with it!

Definitely not a hypo, and doesn't look to be a homozygous "peanut butter" either. But it does look like a very nice looking normal youngster that will likely speckle-up well with some very nice yellow. I't could easily be het for those traits though, but no telling.

Should be real nice looking as it matures regardless.

I agree, I was doubtful of the genetics and its linage (True Brooksi ) but I have a male het PB Ghost to test her for hets. Part of the fun is watching the colors change with each shed. I also wanted to support a PA vendor for coming to a KY show so two birds with one stone.

It is not a hypo or PB.

Even if it was a double het it does not look like it came from either one of those lines.
