Pic of psycho, hypo coastal.

[triptych_angel]

Here is my hypo coastal, yet to be named, so is called psycho for now.

[DrOsteo]

doesn't look very hypo to me???

[jessop]

nice lookin snake triptych! though it looks more interested in the camera than it's dinner.

[DrOsteo]

oh definately nice.......but not hypo

[triptych_angel]

why not hypo DrOsteo?

[Kyro]

Doesn't hypomelanistic mean lack of black pigment? beautiful snake regardless triptych angel

[Mangles]

Looks the same colour as one of mine, and its definately not a hypo.

[triptych_angel]

hypo means reduced black in short. And well the pic doesnt do him any justice.

i do think he is hypo, because he doesnt have alot of black on him.

As with all silly names, hypo is quite subjective, but I would say it has less dark areas than coastals I've had, so I would agree with the hypo tag. Perhaps even super pastel tiger starburst??

[triptych_angel]

thanks olivehydra.

The guy we bought him off said he was a hypo from URS, and i trust what he says.

[DrOsteo]

mate it looks the smae as mine. When they are that young they always have less black pigment and often look hypo. If you wanna see a hypo, look at the other coastal thread that is up at the moment and look at trueblue's coastal.
It is a beautiful snake, and as i said looks similar to mine, but it will get more black as it ages.

[triptych_angel]

Thanks for your opinion, but i dont think it looks like yours. and yes i have seen TB's snake which seems to have NO black. Hypo just means reduced black.

Cheers

how old is it? i think that you'll find the black rings around the lighter splotches thicken with each shed.

[yommy]

i hope it's hypo, then all mine would be hypo too

It's a nice looking little snake but not hypo. A large % of coastals can look like hypos when small but soon develop more and more black.
That doesn't detract from the snake itself though.
