Dave, they are not 100% but thought to have originated in North West NSW.

here's some of our pinstripes, and our hypo girl. the nicest ones are pinstripe siblings. the pinstripe siblings in the 5th pic, still have the typical chocolate colour of a pinstripe. note the girl in the first pic has one blue eye.

should be the first year with the hypo girl, the pinstripes we have been producing for three years and this year will be the first time our bred ones should produce. we shall try pinstripe to pinstripe, but the siblings, which obviously have some influence, are hot.

zoolander, nice snakes....
you bred the pinstripe to a normal?
what are the results of that breeding in terms of getting pinstripe hatchlings?
will be really interesting to find out more when you breed from both pinstripe parents.....
cheers

Can you please tell me why you are calling one of those Stimsons a hypo Stimsons?
I ask this simply because it appears typical of many specimens I have seen and I am not aware of this species having black pigment in the first place therefore question your assumption that this reptile qualifies the use of the term hypo.

Please remember that I am not attacking you or your reptile, instead I am just questioning your reasoning.

is this the same pilbara pythons that was calling a slightly dark woma, a 'super hyper melanistic'. kiwi's spend 6 years in kindergarten and then want to argue technicalities. these wheeleri are accepted as 'hypos' in the trade, but technically, as wheeleri don't have black pigment in the first place, they are not hypomelanistic. they are however hypo ( whatever the pigment is that is reduced ). clearly the snake pictured has reduced pigment of some sort, and i'd say this qualifies it as a 'hypo'.

(these wheeleri were bred recently in the US.)

hey dave, hypo is a prefix meaning 'reduced' or 'less' or 'low', an animal does not have to have black in it to have reduced pigment. check your notes from Latin 101.

Yes, they would be. Melanin = black & dark brown.

You're right, an animal doesn't have to have reduced black pigment to be called a hypo. It is commonplace for aussie reptile keepers at least to refer to hypomelanistic animals as simply "hypo," however so PilbaraPythons has clearly assumed that's what the person is meaning.

At the risk of sparking/continuing O/T debate, I don't see anything up there that looks hypo (melanistic or anything else for that matter). The pins look very nice though.
