Anyone working with Hybino California Kings?

I was thinking of starting this project. Was wondering if anyone else was already doing it or would be interested in such a project.

I've seen three to four different types (that aren't like each other in the least) of cal kings that have been called hypos. So to get an albino hypo you would have to decide what a hypo cal king is first......

I didn't know there were so many Hypo phases. The only ones I knew about were the light colored hatchlings you get from breeding a Lavender to an Albino, or the actual Hypomelanistic cali kings of the Merker line.

You don't produce a hypo by breeding a lavender x albino. I am the one who produced a "hypo" looking baby from that pairing, BUT it is not a hypo. There was another ad recently here on K-snake that was selling a "hypo" cal king. Looked pretty normal to me LOL....

Oh well,........

When you breed a Lavender to an Albino you get light colored babies. I know those aren't hypos, in the true sense of the morph, they are just light colored.

There is somebody on the classifieds right now selling a Lavender Striped Cali King, as a Hypo Cali King. I told them several times it was not a hypo, yet they keep referring to that as such.

Jesus Alonso is where I'm getting my Hypo from. He said he's talked to you before... And he also said his Hypo came from Gerold Merker's line, and I have seen Gerold's, and they are as Hypo as the word defines.
