So does this one and it's a hypo. There are certainly dirty hypos out there, I've seen plenty. The hypo gene creates a reduction of black pigment and in some cases (often from selective breeding) a total lack of black. Because it causes a reduction in black that puts it into relative terms which makes going by the speckling alone an unreliable way to ID the morph. This boa could have been the dirtiest looking common you've ever seen before the hypo gene came in and cleaned it up some. Unfortunately we'll never know! All that being said I would be very surprised to find out his not a hypo. Hopefully JPC did produce it and can clear up the confusion.
Korbin are there other traits (or lack of) besides the speckling that lead you to believe its not hypo?
