Green hypo or green phase????

LucasJennings Aug 05, 2011 11:56 AM

i picked this little guy up this year on an auction from siegel. i was told that it was from Brett Bumgardner. he is for sure green but i am unsure if he would be considered a green hypo.

Green phase but I can't say for sure that it's a Green Hypo.
I was somewhat hesitant to get into the Green Hypo project because it doesn't have a trait or marker that I look for with standard Hypos. I went ahead and picked up some adults from a friend/reputable breeder. They were produced by another breeder that I completely trust. I've had some really nice Green phase but the Green Hypos are even more green and are different, at least as adults. I just produced my first clutch and plan on holding back all but maybe one pair. I want to see the changes they go through as they mature. The snake in the pic doesn't look like my adult Green Hypos. I would suggest that you contact Brent and check about the Green Hypos that he is working with.
