    Just a light normal or something more?
    Now I am not one of those people that thinks my snake is anything more then what it is. Though there is something about this one s/he is super light and could just be a really light pretty normal but I wanted y'alls opinion on what you think s/he could be. Thanks :)

    Looks like a Hypo to me. The body kinda threw me for a minute though because it's not as bright as its tail, but maybe that's just the camera?

    Might be the camera. She is really light, and her sides are a peachy color.

    I'll still stick with him/her being a Hypo BCI. :gj:

    I'd like to see a couple more pics with better color, but I'd agree with the possibility of hypo. I am thinking this might be a Central American though? Do you know?

    What I am about to admit is very shameful. I purchased him at Petco (I know I know. The shame!) He was just soooo pretty!!!
    So I have no idea where he is from or anything about him other then that I now know he is a male.

    I just fed him tonight so I will have to wait for some better pictures in a few days, but here are a few more I took.

    These still dont show how pink he is! He could just be a normal and I would still be happy with him. Hes just beautiful!

    That normal colored body is throwing me. The tail looks hypo and so do the saddles but the body color is almost "normal".

    I'll admit though that I'm not terribly good at telling some of the subspecies apart, especially as babies.

    Hypo for sure! I have four myself and yours is indeed a hypo.

    Yes, those are a bit better. Hypo for sure. I'm still seeing the possibility of CA in there, but without documentation, we can't be sure. It doesn't matter though - I only mention it because the CA hypos can have a slightly different look from Colombian hypos. ;)

    I called petco and they said he was CA, but then again they usually know nothing! So he very well could be.
    Thanks so much for y'alls input I really appreciate it.
    Do hypos usually go for the same price as a normal? If not what do males usually go for?
    I know I probably paid way too much for him, but he was worth it.

    From a reputable breeder, hypos are marginally more than a normal. A hypo without any other genes involved would usually sell for around 140-200 depending on quality and lineage. So if you bought yours as a "normal" you might not have gotten that bad a deal at all.

    And even though you are correct about Petco, in this case with that added information, I would say she definitely is CA then. :gj:

    Pretty baby. Yeah, I saw hypo in tail, but not familiar with CA. I guess I stole my hypo, he was $80 :/

    I got him for 140 so I guess I didn't get off too bad :)
    He's a sweet little thing, and already ate for me too.
