"Just wondering what hypo means?" -------->Hypo means “hypo melanistic”, or reduction of black coloration (spotting)



"Also, I ave looked around and cant seem to figure out what the differences between blizzard and blazing blizzard leopard geckos are?"-------->Blizzard refers to a true leucistic leopard gecko {all white(ish) and/or grey(ish)}Blazing blizzards are typically offspring produced by a blizzard X albino, what you get is a blizzard with red eyes (blazing blizzard).



"Super mean its large?"-------------->

"giant" means larger than normal......"super" means that both of the parents of the offspring were homozygous for a recessive morph. Say Mack Snow leopard was bred with another Mack Snow Leopard, what you get is a super Mack Snow leopard Gecko.



"So, a super hypo tangerine carrot tail what is the super and hypo, and is carrot tail just mean orange tail?"-------->"hypo" means hypomelanistic (reduction of black coloration/spotting). "Super", in this, case emphasizes the "hypo" part of the gecko's appearance and means that there are absolutely no spots on the body.



"One last question, what are the Raptor and aptors that I see?? Sorry for all the newbie questions just looking for some answers. Thanks!"-----------------> A.P.T.O.R. =

The name of this gecko is an acronym, and it stands for Albino Patternless Tremper ORange. They are basically a carrot-head, carrot-tail, tangerine albino, and an all around awesome looking gecko.

R.A.P.T.O.R = basically an A.P.T.O.R expressing the genes for bright Red Eyes throughout their lives.
