Anyone who knows me knows I'm a snake guy. That being said however, I can't get enough of Leopards. I recently was offered two for free and so I decided to take them for my classroom so the kids would have a class pet. Last year it was 4 Beardies. I'll never do that again. They too need to be rescued more or less.
Long story short I was given a pair and the female apears to be Hypo. She stays in my snake room and the male stays at school.
So what do you think of her?

very cute but she doesn't look hypo to me just reduced pattern maybe. I really like her head pattern. :)

Yeah, I wouldn't quite call that a hypo - Reduced Pattern as dark angel said.

Very nice leo though! Lucky you!

Reduced spotting with VERY nice colours... I'm not sure if I would call that a tangerine or just a really intense high yellow.
Very pretty, Trevor!!

No, it's just the angle of the pic and the fact that she's a little chubster :P

Brand new to the reptile thing. Been a fish guy for about 10 years. Anyway, is hypo a desireable trait? I recently (last night) bought a pair of albino females, each very young, from my work. One appears to be a jungle and the other an extremely bright. Anyway, I am planning on breeding them to my brother's new gecko. Its a fairly large one in comparison (probably about 25-30 grams) and judging from those pics is a hypo with a carrot tail. Which of these are desirable? Thanks.

:P copyrights? :O whats that? :D
she is doing good zoe... and very pretty! Hows the beardie?

And nimrod54 hypo carrottail is a desired trait, the fewer spots the better, the more carrottail the better, and the different morphs like patternless, T albino and RW albino, etc all have their niches.
