Some of the old school breeders called these Hypo Thayeri.
I don't think they are genetically hypomelanistic as they have reduced black pattern rather than reduced black pigmentation.
Here's a few I've had over the years and a couple pics of some others that Michelle Rogers has.......
I created some myself through 2 generations of line breeding some Vivid Reptile line thayeri. These two girls hatched out in 2003:
Then I found a killer one in Daytona in 2005 on Mitch Allen's table:
Michelle has these awesome adults from Bob Applegate lineage:
Those adults produced these two that I now have:
And I picked this one up at the Austin Reptile Expo this year:
I would love to see a "no-black" thayeri with hallow saddles....It would be an almost solid colored thayeri....
Here's a couple hallow saddled thayeri that I've produced. Imagine these with no black......
One thing I want to pursue is if there is such a thing as a Hypoerythristic thayeri.
Here's a male that was thought to be anery at birth by the breeder. He is not anery but may be hypo-e. I have a female offspring of his that I am raising up for him.
Here he is out of the egg:
I bred him to an MSP this last year in hopes that when he is bred to his daughter a Hypo-E MSP will hatch.....If not, no biggie.....I just want to prove him out and the only way possible is to produce an MSP that has reduced red pigmentation.
Leonis animals are too variable. MSPs have a more consistent red.
