Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Question about Milk Snake morphs
I'm hoping to breed two double het (hypo + albino) Honduran Tangerines. 1/16th of the babies will be albino AND hypo. I was thinking that since hypo is just LESS melanin, and albino is NO melanin, that they'd look just like albinos. Is this correct, or would hypo+albino be a different morph, like snow or something? Anybody know or can point me to the right sources?
Thanks in advance!

Not sure what the picture is actually showing, looks like an albino next to a Hypo. Maybe I'll surf over to Terry's site and see if there is an actual explanation, cause the question the OP asked has been something I myself have wondered. It seems the lack of Melanin (albino) would just cancel out the less melanin (hypomelanistic). Maybe the orange would be somewhat washed out like some of the hypos. In which case I would stick with a regular albino, cause I like the bright orange contrast, a washed out orange albino wouldn't be as attractive, in my personal opinion, of course.

One description I read while googling for the pictures said that the white bands took on a lavender cast. Terry would be the go to person on this one though.
