Hypo, if you have a homozygous hypo (aka "super" hypo), when bred to an albino, you will get all het hypo het for albino. Keep in mind that in this case 'het hypo' will still look hypo, since it's a dominant trait, while 'het albino' will still look normal since it's a recessive trait.

If you have a het hypo, you'll get 50% het hypo het albinos, 50% normal het albinos.

When you bred the offspring to the albino parent, you'd get the following.

case: het hypo het albino x albino offspring would be:

25% het hypo homozygous albinos
25% normal albinos
25% het hypo het albinos
25% normal het albinos

case: normal het albino x albino

75% normal albino
25% normal het albino

case: het hypo het albino x het hypo het albino

6.25% Homozygous hypo, homozygous albino ("super" hypo albino)
6.25% no hypo, no albino (pure normal)
12.5% Homozygous hypo, no albino ("super" hypo)
12.5% homozygous hypo, het albino("super" hypo het albino)
12.5% het hypo, homozygous albino (hypo albino)
12.5% het hypo, no albino (regular hypo)
12.5% het hypo, het albino (hypo het albino)
12.5% no hypo, het albino (normal het albino)
12.5% no hypo, homozygous albino (normal albino)

This is the chance of genetic sequence PER animal born, not per breeding. You could end up with all normals, or all super hypo albinos... but I'd give up reptile breeding and pick up gambling if the latter ever happened.
