So is it possible this girl is a Hypo?

I can feel lots of little lumpies in her bellie!!!

Amanda I don't want to sound like that MF over at kingsnake

Funny how his initials could be taken another way

Call her a hypo, and I will not challenge it.. However I have seen a lot of them exactly that color right out back.

Dekayi snakes are as variable as eastern garters.

Speaking of, ever wonder about the dorsal stripe, and think maybe DK browns may be distant cousins of Garters??

Whenever I flip boards over out back, it is common to see both species huddled together under the same hide.

My one tank in the living room has 3 adult dekay's and 2 smallish male garters in it, and all 5 get along well

Oh you aren't being like him. lol! Thats why I asked.

Really? I have never seen pics of any as light as her anywhere... Huh. I would love to see more! So either she is a hypo and they are somewhat common in browns... Or she isn't. Just lighter, much lighter then at least most I have seen. What would be the way to tell? If it breeds true? Curious...

They do have a super similar appeal as garters!!

I love em!

This gal is not nearly as light as your lovely lady....

And here is a couple cute DK photos from last night....

When I compare, that one you have is quite a bit lighter

**GartersRock** · 08-16-2008, 09:56 AM

Aww!! They are so CUTE. I am so a sucker for these....

Yes, she doesn't seem SO light, until you compare... She is much lighter. I think it would be safe to call her a poss hypo. lol! But I am not gonna get all "she's a hypo, thats that" on everyone.

Dekays are really cute! Can one live with the J & P Duo?

**GartersRock** · 08-16-2008, 11:40 AM

I would think so. *shrugs* Wayne?

**infernalis** · 08-16-2008, 11:43 AM

P & J lived with 4 dekays for a year in the same 10 gallon tank

They miss the former roomies real bad

The DK in the neon looking thing, IS a former tank mate to P&J.
