Most Commonly Used Name: Hypo Amel
Mode of Genetic Inheritance: recessive
Morph Type: Double Mutation compound (Amel + Hypo A)
This compound recessive morph results from combining the two recessive color mutations, Amel and Hypo A. Many snake morphs are called Hybinos, but this term for snakes that are both Hypo and Amel is seldom used in the corn snake hobby. The main reason is that the homozygous version of this double gene mutation is sometimes virtually impossible to discern from typical Amels. Most of ours have more deeply saturated colors in both markings and ground color zones. Therefore, we feel that the morph name Hybino is appropriate.
Important Note:
The advertising images on our web site are representations of the average adult example of each morph. These images are not renderings of the actual animals being offered, (except for uniquely offered snakes found in the SURPLUS section of this web site). We do not provide pictures of individual hatchling snakes for sale, nor do we recommend that you ever choose a new pet based on an image of its neonatal form. Corns change so dramatically from hatchling to adult, they will NEVER have the same colors or contrasts throughout maturity. While most of the snakes we produce will mature to resemble the featured adult image(s) on our web site, unlike manufactured products that are respectively clones of each other, the nature of polygenic variation results in each animal being similar but not identical to others of its morph. The snake we select for you may not mature to be identical to the pictured examples, but will be chosen based on our experience of observing which neonates will mature to properly represent their respective morph. We take this responsibility very seriously, and therefore publish the guarantee that we will exchange your SMR snake if it does not mature to be like our advertised examples.
