Vaughn. he is wicked!

...you might just have to loan me that one when my new baby gets bigger ;) Awesome Hypo!

He's stunning Vaughn. Hey quick hypo related question here if you don't mind.

I've seen Hypo Mojave and Hypo Pastels. Now do they still do the clear shed thing that's typical of Hypo's?


~~Jo~~

thanks everyone, jo i'm not 100% sure but i would assume that they shed clear because of the hypo gene. email joe compel he has alot of knowledge in hypos and combos.


vaughn

All hypos shed clear ... even if they are hypo combos.

What's a clear shed as opposed to an unclear shed? All my BP's seem to shed clear. Their sheds have no color and are cloudy, but have no discernible pattern.

Normal ball pythons leave varying amounts of pattern on their sheds. Sometimes it's very subtle and hard to see, other times it's very obvious. It depends on the snake and it's color and contrast really. Hypo sheds are different, they seem to be slightly "thinner" and have an almost crystal look to them compared to the sheds of other ball pythons.

All that said, I have heard of a few cases of clear sheds coming off of non-hypo animals. Just when you think you've got these guys figured out, they'll always throw you a curve.

He is pretty! It looks like he has a slight bit of "attitude" to go with his good looks :)

Looking good Vaughn! I hope the transition went well. It was great hanging out with you and the boys at the show.

everything is well! he ate a lg rat pup last night. i can't believe how bright he is! thanks again.



vaughn

wow, beautiful snake!

is it rare for one to be this brightly colored? (i'm new to this stuff)

I guess you could say they are 'rare'....they are alot less abundant than normal ball pythons. Here check these other cool bps (since you are new to this stuff..it even has descriptions):
