Hypo and albino housies

Got these 2 from Rolf a little while back

The hypo/ ghost thinks he's a cobra and the albino is super chilled :)

Its probably an anery.

I think Unforgiven means hypo or ghost, since no one can agree on what to call them.

Thats why i am asking because hypos look nothing like aneries, they look more like albino.

Yep, Rolf refers to them as both hypos and ghosts. As I recall, no one has managed to come to an agreed term on what they should be called They sure are pretty though.

If you cross the hypo or ghost with a albino what would you get in the F2?

Hypos are not aneries, for some reason people just call them that, hypos look more albino like but are not true albinos. Very nice anery you have there:)

@Unforgiven, thanks for sharing, they looking great! The first house snake is a hypomelanistic house snake, which is a house snake that has a lack of the pigment cells producing melanin(dark pigment). I have bred this hypomelamistic house snake to green house snakes and albinos which has resulted in a hypomelanistic green house snake and a hypomelanictic albino house snake. If it was an anerythristic mutation then when bred with the green house snake, it will result in a plain grey house snake and not a diluted green house snake, which is what we see with the hypomelanistic green house snakes.
