Wow, I really started something by suggesting they are not "hypo" and heck, I'm a newcomer to all of this. The people here that greeted me when I joined know this. But, it did occur to me, if the snake is "hypo" then it's "hypo" what? Hypomelanistic? can't be.. there are normal very black areas... hypoerythristic? (I have a concinnus that fits that description, it's spots are sort of yellow) No. No red on a normal checkered. Those just don't seem to fit so I don't think they are hypo anything.

Just different. Call it something else, but I wouldn't call it "hypo" either. I think I like "pastel" better. That is a better description.

You can call them "mud" as far as I'm concerned. I want one.
