Help is this a Hypo? BRB

BobKlein Dec 31, 2011 12:36 AM

Friend got this and it just does not look like any normal I have seen. I'm no expert on this morph in the least. At the time I only had my cell and i did the best I could. I added a new white styro cup to possible help with color balance.
Thanks

Nope, not a Hypo. A very nice looking Yellow though.

Like Aubrey said, not a hypo, look at the significant black outlines. In a hypo those would be very much muted to a light brown.
Nice yellow phase. I have some babies growing up from a very intense yellow and hoping to produce some babies in 2013 from them.

Thank you much,, I guess now I have to ask is there any special value to a yellow phase? I knew of orange and red,, yellow is a new one to me.

There is an enormous amount of variation in the color of these snakes. A pretty yellow one like that is probably worth just a bit more than a pretty red or orange one.
