Is this a hypo?

justinmorse Apr 17, 2010 04:48 AM

A friend of mine picked this guy up recently as a hypo. I wasn't so sure. I've been looking at a lot of different pictures and I've seen some hypos that were similar, but I still can't make up my mind.

I don't know much about Pythons, but looks to me like some pimbura in there.

Could it be a het green burm? I remember green being one of those "recessive" mutations with co-dominant tendencies. I thought they even had a name for the het greens where just one copy of the mutation seemed to reduce the size of the dark blotches relative the light area in-between making an overall lighter colored snake. Was that "cinnamon"? It's been like 17 years since I had one so I could be way off for sure. I seem to remember the same sort of thing with some het granites having what was called a puzzle pattern with more irregularity than normal.
