Evans Hypo

This colour mutation was discovered by the American "hognose pioneer" Richard Evans and unfortunately he called it "Hypo". There is now a growing conviction that this morph is in fact a form of tyrosine positive albinism. However, the designation "Hypo" was so well established that the "Evans" was added.

The "pure" version of these animals has a golden-brown colour of the large body spots. The bellies are pink and white with a hint of lavender. The tongue and pupils are bright purple in colour. Even if they have some similarities with the Toffee Bellys, the Evans Hypos are low contrast, compared to the Toffee's and have lighter colours, and are not compatible genetically.
