I like the other one, she is showing alot of color especially on her head. Of course they are both adorable !

With Hypos, I tend to go with the darker/brighter color since the color tends to wash out a little as the mature more in that morph.

Hey Jeff, did you get my E-mail?
So you would go with the top one then?

 

[citrusdragon]

Yes, the top one. Because the back round color makes a difference in how a color pops. Hypomelanism has no black, or dark, coloring so to speak. I think the brighter/darker hypos look best as adults unless your looking for a Marketed Leucistic, or mostly white dragon.

Yes, I got your email. I'll be in touch.
