BCI Morph Explanation?

Allie · 03-30-21, 08:17 AM

I’m very new to snake keeping and my first snake is a SSB. My second snake was going to be a corn snake but I got a little distracted by other types of snakes and stumbled upon the BCI’s. I decided I definitely liked the albino look more than the wild look. Upon going to a reputable reptile shop (where I got my SSB) they had for sale a female Hypo Jungle het VPI Albino. I wanted her bad, but I walked away to think it over, and decided I did want one, but preferably a male. I could swear as far as I could tell my male and that female looked identical even though he was marked as a Jungle het VPI. It’s neither here nor there but they did post on the FB that they had the Hypo Jungle het VPI Albino and I believe they are related. So my question is, what does all that mean, and is my male a Hypo Jungle het VPI Albino or is he just a Jungle Het VPI? I don’t care either way, but I am really curious. I tried to add photos as well.

Tail pics would help tell better but it could be.

Thank you, Reddit said he was hypo, and not jungle. I love him either way. I’ll try to link a tail picture.

Oh yes! I didn’t buy him because of the morphs they claimed he was. I have a SSB and I was thinking a corn snake next but I saw a BI and just loved them. After researching I decided I don’t really care for the wild color as much and rather like the lighter ones. I’m totally thrilled with Nagini being a hypo. I’ve been trying my best to leave him alone so he’ll hopefully eat his first meal with me tomorrow. Thanks for the help!
