You mentioned the head. Yes on the Dan Johnson hypos the heads have blue spots above the eyes when they're hatchlings. I knew that but I was thinking this might be a different line of hypos. However what you said made me look more closely at the snake and I noticed something actually quite obvious, the alternates. The alternates appear to be regular black pigment, so this is not a hypo IMHO. I was so caught up in the borders of the orange bands that I didn't notice the alternates. Still got to be one of the nicest Sanderson's produced though.
