Re: Hypo red tail?

Nice pics, but still not a hypo. The hypo gene basically removes black from the colors, leaving reds, oranges, and yellows. While there may be some black like small flecks, it is very limited. As babies a hypo would have a creamy base with dark orangey/pink markings that darken to pumpkin and rust/terracotta colors. The baby you have looks like a normal with a slightly more pinkish tint. But normals come in different shades and tints without being a morph or her of any kind. It really appears you have been dooped. If it matters to you to have a hypo het whatever, you should reach out to the seller. If it doesn't matter, then just enjoy your pretty normal baby. It is a really nice one after all, just not a morph.

Re: Hypo red tail?

Normals are best anyway

As mink says so long as you didn't pay a premium for it being a morph I'd say just enjoy it.

Boa imperator are one of my favourite snakes and a joy to own...

Re: Hypo red tail?

Is there a website or thread that goes into detail on the different common genes/morphs seen in BCI?
