I would call it Hypo....no doubt. Very nice, where'd it come from?

I purchased her from a friend of mine. He purchased her as an UNUSUALLY LIGHT baby. At first glance, I truly believed her to be a hypo, but according to my friend he thought that her circular markings were to dark to be hypomelanistic, and so did I for a short amount of time. I've seen quite a few hypos recently and she seems to match that of the east bay vivarium line. And at a closer look of her circular markings i noticed only brown and burgundy with absolutly no black. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and i'm hoping she'll prove out for me in the near future. Thank you very much for your response, and have a great day, Raingerjoe.

That's a hypo if I've ever seen a hypo. And I've seen lots of hypos. Nice snake. Where the hell did you get it?

RangerJoe,
...The snake looks more hypo than any BRBs I have seen. I am just wondering why it is so yellow compared to the very orange Darin Bell/East Bay Vivarium Hypo bloodline. Perhaps hypomelanistic and also less than normal red pigment? It will be interesting to see what results from breeding that snake's offspring or breeding to the already proven DB/East Bay bloodline.
