I think that is an Extreme. I know Mike Falcon coined the phrase Extreme and the ones he says are Extreme have more red but if the Extreme line is a recessive trait and not a simple trait then it is the black bands that make them an Extreme.

If that is an Extreme the bands will turn green when the snake gets bigger. Good score on your part

I replied under Zennys post below and it brought it ttt.

I thought so too

ok this snakes starts out gray then turns lavender... i had another light male that had lavender bands from head to tail and i understand what you mean.

honestly i dont think the extreme hypos are just simply a hypo Honduran, matter fact i don't believe any ruby eyed hypo is really a hypo, i think the gene came from the hypos but it's something else.

i think that genes are just as you tried to say. they are not simply defined as what we call them there is much more to it.

i seriously think if an extreme and a darker ruby eyed "hypo" bred together they'd produce all ruby eyed offspring. if they are simply "hypo" you'd get an even distribution of dark eyes and ruby red eyes.

what's the diff between a recessive trait and a simple trait?

We use the term simple often, and it is appropriate. However I wonder why they term "complex" is not thrown around for something like say Vanishing Patterns which is a little harder to explain. Know what I mean? Tom Stevens
