The mom's a lavender, the dad's an ultra (hypo type D) motley het butter.

Siblings include normals, a caramel-looking normal, and two definite amels. This hatchling is different-looking than its straight amel siblings... I should be able to get a better idea of how it looks once its had its first shed. (Hopefully I can get it to stop attacking the camera... it makes it hard to get a good pic.)

Its so hard to tell from pics but maybe your lav was het hypo and maybe the baby is hypo lavender? or maybe its a hypo-snow?

Whatever it is PLEASE don't let it be another form of hypo.lol.

Well, post some new pics after it sheds, along with some pics of the parents. I love the 'ultra' line of hypos mixed with the caramel gene

very nice looking snake something different looking. If you keep it a while be sure to let us know/see what develops as it sheds.
