Just wanted to share these two pictures comparing my definite codom hypo checkered, to one that I cherry picked out of a group of babies that looked like a glowstick mixed in with the others. Surprisingly the $14 one is even whiter, brighter, and cleaner looking that my $100 codom hypo! The head is the most striking thing on the snake, it's really pale and the whole snake just glows. Sorry the pictures are actually really bad, the sun was too bright that day and I was unable to get clear shots, plus they were wiggly. But both of these guys really do glow like that!! It will be interesting to see how the unproven one matures. These are both males.

In the first picture, the snake on the left is the $14 one. The one on the right is the actual proven morph hypo. In the second picture, the $14 snake is in the front.

I tend to notice insects since I have helped put together several entomology collections with my kids for 4H projects. :rolleyes:

I think it was well worth the $14.Was there just one in the whole group of them?

Very nice Shannon! I'm thinking you should have picked up a normal female sibling or two... can't go wrong for $14!
