Miami question

[Rdoyle]

I was looking for someone how knows about miamies, Well here is where I am at. I have what someone told me it was a hypo, but after he sheld last he has gotten darker borders and belly checks. he was born somewhere around late june or early july. Could he be a miami or a hypo???

befor he shed:

Looks like a plain ol' normal with thin black borders to me.

Looks like a hypo to me. The saddle bands and belly checks are not black like a normals.

 

[ShenziSixaxis]

I agree after double checking a few pictures, but the few hypos I've seen have VERY little black; this guy has quite a bit.

I am by no means an expert, but even though the ground & saddle color make me think normal, the saddle border & belly checkers to me say Hypo.
See the difference in belly checkers of my Hypo, vs my Normal.
The belly checkers are more "faded" & look more Hypo to me...again, I'm no expert.
The first pic is of Maicoh, one of my Hypo males. The other pic is Toruk, one of my Normal males.
Either way, it's a pretty corn.

I'll say Hypo as well. I have a hypo with larger and darker borders than yours, but the borders are just a really dark *brown*, not actually black.

I'll have to agree with what the others have said, it is (probably) a hypo. Definitely not a Miami. Miami's will have a nice mostly silverish background. If anything it looked more like a Miami (not a great one) before it shed, but that's only because it was still young and the color hadn't fully come in yet. So I'd say probably hypo. The color will probably change more with every shed, I love watching them come into their adult coloration.

Looks like a normal corn. The color is already starting to darken up in the second picture.

 

[ceduke]

Looks hypo to me, but the ground color doesn't look right for a Miami.

 

[Duff]

You were told correctly, that's a hypo. There is no true black, if you look close enough. The black coloring is faded out, or reduced, which is exactly what the hypo gene does.

 

[Rdoyle]

well he never had a black on him

He is one of him the month I got him so I love him he is the greats snake.

 

[Rdoyle]

I dont think he is a normal

 

[Shiari]

He's a hypo, but not a miami. There's too much yellow in the ground color already and it's only going to spread and strengthen as he grows.

See the brownish-grey type color around his saddles, (you can really see it in the second pic, towards his tail), it's the same as my baby, Maicoh, you can see in this pic.
He's a Hypo
The other baby is one of my Miami babies.

 

[MysticExotics]

(the Miami is the 1st one, the Hypo is the 2nd one)

 

[Rdoyle]

thanks. For the help

 

[Snakehead]

Yeah, definately Hypo! It can still have dark color around the saddles and belly checkers but as many have said, it's not true black. It's more of a brownish, sometimes even purple-ish color.
