Normal Female and Evan's Hypo Male


Normal female. She was sold to me as a male but I'm pretty much positive she's not. She's about 75g, I have teeny hands.





Male Evans Hypo, possible het pink pastel. He's about 55g

Sorry for the potato quality pics.

Also, if anyone knows where I can find a het pink pastel female in Canada I'd really appreciate it!

Very nice! That tail looks male but it could be the pic.

Thanks!

It may be the pic. I'll have to get one of the male and the questionable one side by side. It's way more obvious. But I could totally be wrong. She's also a few years younger than him and is already bigger than he is.

Re: Normal Female and Evan's Hypo Male

Could very well be female then. I'd be able to tell with a few pics from different angles. I do want to mention though that both sexes have a rather large variance in adult sizes. Females can be as small as 200 grams or as large as 800+, average being 250-500. Males tend to range between 50-120 grams but some get as big as 200! Usually has to do with the bloodlines as well as where the origin of those bloodlines occur in the wild as some localities are bigger than others.

Re: Normal Female and Evan's Hypo Male

Yes! I love the giant chunky females. I'm not sure if mine had a rough start or what but she is definitely smaller than she should be. She's been growing like crazy lately though so I'm hoping she gets up to size sooner than later. When I got her it was around Jan-Feb and she was approx. 9grams. Her clutch mates mostly didn't survive. I think it was just her and another. I found out about this after I'd purchased her.

I'll get more pics of both of them! I'm wondering if my male is actually an Evans Hypo? I don't know who produced him as I got him off someone other than the breeder. Whatever he is he's pretty.

Re: Normal Female and Evan's Hypo Male

Pics didn't turn out that great. I forgot to grab my camera and of course my male is preparing to shed. I also got pooed on so that was lovely.













They were not cooperating while I tried to line up a side by side shot of their tails. And the male was preparing to defecate. Lesson learned haha.

Re: Normal Female and Evan's Hypo Male

Ok glad I'm not crazy!

I keep second guessing myself because I don't want to be one of *those* people who buy something then start asking everyone if it's something else. Like the "I was told this was a normal *ball python / leopard gecko / corn / etc* but maybe it's something special?" type.

Thanks!
