Hybino plains babies !

[Scott F]

Can't believe it, this female is a tough cookie to breed as I have tried breeding her to het hybino males for several years unsuccessfully. This year I decided to throw every plains male I have at her (Iowa albino, axanthic, anerythristic, normal and het hybinos), as I had done a few years ago and got lucky ! She had a clutch of 22 babies the other day, her other brood years ago consisted of 7 neonates.

Congrats!!!! Scott.... what exactly is hybino? hypo and albino??? or a different albino line? haha... :)

I was wondering the same thing. Now that shannon asked, I don't feel so stupid. This is what I found by googling: "A Hybino, also known as a Hypo-Albino, is a combination of the Super Hypo and any one of the three albino strains" Super hypo what? I'll have to assume that means a dominant hypomelanistic trait combined with a recessive amelanistic strain? I'm not so sure. People keep throwing around the term "hypo" Well, hypo what? I ask.

I'm thinking the problem with her lack of production might not have been her fault. Maybe the fault was with the males you chose for her? who knows.

I have read that even though males can breed and produce offspring at a very young age, and even without brumation, a more mature male that goes through a long cold brumation might produce more viable, numerous, and better quality sperm.

Hypo-attractive, would be my guess.

[drache]

the only colour I've ever heard "hypo" used for is black, as in hypo-melanistic - lacking black

[BUSHSNAKE]

there are differant types of hypos, hypomelanistic being the most common, hypo just means redused

[BUSHSNAKE]

i believe Scotts hybino came from red hypo x albino babies that were bred back to each other....."hypo-attractive" was that an insult?

[Scott F]

Thanks all. Joe (Bushsnake) hit the mark with his comments, she was produced from an extreme high reddish hypo (Wenzel line) bred to an Iowa albino. Then the resulting double hets were bred back to one another to produce this one of a kind beaut. I love her, would love to call her the Jeff Gordon morph but am sure that would infringe on a trademark law lol

No, HypER attractive! That's one hot snake!

Well yeah, I know what it means that's why I say hypo "WHAT?"

I have hypos but they aren't hypomelanistic they are hypoerythristic.

[BUSHSNAKE]

when the term hypo is used by itself it means the overall color is redused, the red hypo plains garter was very similar to Shannons red hypo water snakes...hope that helps ya Richard

[ConcinusMan]

Oh, like that picture of a "psudo albino" I saw in here somewhere. (can't find it right now)

[drache]

No, HypER attractive! That's one hot snake!
as my mother used to say - can't argue about taste
and if albinos are not your thing, you might consider this snake to be unattractive
if you are into albinos however, I can see that you would consider this snake a hot item

That female is hot, I've always thought she was striking, as well as the red hypo! Congrats on the babies Scott
