Odd Hypo

Jynx

Jynx

Digger, RN
This little male was produced by my hypo lav male X normal het coral snow female. He is the only hypo out of the clutch that has these odd washed out colors. And its not necessarily just the colors that make him odd to me... his saddles are much smaller, and seemed to be spaced farther apart giving him a reduced saddle count. (As a side, none of the parents have any emoryi blood in them).

Pretty neat, eh? Any opinions?

Just for comparison, here is a hypo sibling... also a male.

He has a pattern that reminds me of Thayeri. Very interesting and cool.

Great minds think alike! Looks like the start of the new Thayeri phase corn snake morph.
 
Well it must be a hybrid then. Catherine, why are you breeding your corns to thayeri? :shrugs:
 
Heh... I can assure you that neither parents have any "hibird" blood in them. Well, I can personally vouge for the mother, as she is a 5th generation of my foundation line, and I am kinda inclined to take Carol respectfully at her word when she tells me the same about the father :p

Now that I think about it, I don't know why I linked "low saddle count" and "emoryi" together in my mind last night (must have been a hard day at work yesterday... I was thinking about that on the way to work (an example of how my mind runs rampid in a quiet car) since the 2 are contradictory.

I will definitely be keeping that little male, as well as a few of the others. The mother came from my "psuedo candycane" female, and has a reduced ground coloring... but not THAT much. The father has some great peach coloring for a hypo lav, so I definitely didn't expect to see so little ground color in ANY of the babies. Then the whole pattern/color of this little guy threw me off completely.

Either way, I produced this adorable, if not interesting, little boy (as well as 19 others), found out the hypo lav was het for amel, and had a 100% successful hatching, and every hatchling ate wonderfully without any coaxing. WOO HOO!!!
 
Well, I dug a bit and found a picture of the hypo in question before his first shed. Granted, its not a great picture by any means, but it will at least give you kind of an idea of why I was a tad puzzled when I saw him... didn't look like a normal baby hypo at all at first.
