Superpastel het hypo?

[Kev.K]

Is my superpastel het hypo? The breeder thinks he is.
Opinions would be appreciated.

There is no visual difference between a super pastel and a super pastel het hypo, the only way to tell is to breed it to another het hypo or a visual (homo) hypo.

I was told the faded head spot, extreme blushing/fading and clear sheds are all het hypo markers?
I'm only interested in dom /co dom genes at the moment. But I'm thinking of selling him.

Those are all super pastel markers.

Even if they are also get hypo markers when dealing with hets markers are hit or miss.

Was he the offspring of a Hypo snake? If not... the answer is right there.

You got it from a breeder right? What pairing made that particular snake?? Personally, if someone told you that, I'd say you were taken for a ride, but that's just me.

I paid a fair price. I've seen awful examples of superpastels sell for more.

I've seen alot of superpastels that look no better than a nice pastel.
He looks different to other sp's I've seen.

He does look a little off, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he's a het. He's a good looking snake and I'd be happy to have him het or not.

If you know the breeder, I'd ask what the pairing was.

Clear sheds means that it is a hypo, het hypos have regular sheds. As far as I know het hypos have no markers, the only way for it to be 100% het hypo is if one of the parents were a hypo.
