Hypo Striped Lavender (no aka)
Most Commonly Used Name: Hypo Striped Lavender
Mode of Genetic Inheritance: Recessive
Morph Type: Triple Compound Mutation
Eye Color:  Red pupil & body ground colored iris (see details below about some having Black pupils)


This triple recessive mutation is the product of Lavender, Hypo, and Stripe. Many hatch with partial striping, and some lose whatever little stripe they once had as neonates (especially males).  Eye pupils can be black or some shade of red/pink.

 

What to expect:
Most hatchlings are some shade of pale lavender or gray.  Most Striped Lavender-types have typically broken stripes beyond the dorsal half-way point, but some hatch with very little striping – which some lose throughout maturity.  Unlike the single recessive mutants Lavenders, most compound Lavender mutants have black pupils, but expect to see either red or black pupils. Most adult Striped Hypo Lavenders have an overall pink or coral overwash that does not appear to be the result of other mutations. Uncommon to most Striped mutants, when the mutations Lavender and Stripe are possessed by the same snake, it is more common for the striping to be of the vanishing variety (having little or no stripe present at birth – and without the usual partial markings beyond the stripe – OR having considerable striping, but losing it through maturity).  Ordinarily – in non-Lavender Striped mutants – the loss of – or vanishment of – striping is considered polygenic, but since there are more Striped Lavender-types that display one or both forms of the Vanishing “trait” than other color mutations, this pattern modifier may be the result of another mutation in these color mutants?

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.
