Hypo or mack hypo? I have what i believe to be a mack hypo,as it looked like a mack only instead of black & white it was pink & white as a baby.Now it is older it looks exactly the same as a normal hypo.Is there anyway of telling them apart as adults?Any help would be appreciated thanks

It might be a Mack Hypo - any chance of a photo? That might make it easier to tell you....

I'd have expected a Mack Hypo still to display black pigmentation as a hatchling, you see... but it's possible you've got a Mack Superhypo instead, and their bands are paler as babies from my experience.

Im afraid i dont have anything to do pics.So do normal hypo's start out pink & white?cos thats why i took it as a mack hypo(which it was sold as)

The hypos I have hatched out were yellow and brown banded or yellow and black banded.

I have never seen a hypo hatch out PINK.

So its not a normal hypo then? I was on a site today showing a young mack hypo or ghost mack as they had it & was pink & white same as mine was,so i reckon mine is a mack hypo.Its a little disheartening though,seeing how much like a normal hypo they end up(or at least mine has).
