I have to apologize for not posting here more often. Seems time is in short supply this year. Anyway, here are pics of what I believe is the "Super" form of the "codominant Hypo" checkered garter morph. I know that whether or not there even is a super form of this morph is controversial, but based on what I saw out of my first litter of hypo X hypo this season, I have to say this is a super-I produced two like this, along with a half-dozen standard hypos and a couple normal-appearing juvies.

Also a pic of one of the handful of locality eastern blacknecks we produced this season. These were super easy to get on pinks, to my suprise-almost as easy as the marcianus, in fact!

Wow Brad!!! that super has a whacked out pattern, very light ground color and dorsal too. I know what you mean about too busy for everything, thanks for taking the time and sharing photos of that super hypo. I will be crossing the hypo to granite this spring and can't wait to see how that gene reacts with the granite, might make some really whacky patterns, although that will take another generation to see.
Thanks again for sharing

Thanks guys-the pic doesn't even do it justice. Unlike the hypos, it has almost no green, and an even more reduced/fragmented pattern. Can't wait to get some growth on it to see how it turns out.
