I may be wrong, but this is how I always looked at the Dh and Triple Het thing when a Hypo Het "whatever" was involved.
The Hypo in most cases is NOT a Super, so it is technically a Heterozygous Hypo. If it was a Super it would be a Homozygous Hypo.
So, a Triple Het Striped Sunglow would be a Hypomelanistic Heterozygous Stripe and Albino. Or rather a Boa that was Het for "Super" Hypo, Stripe, and Albino (The triple Homozygous).
Now you could obviously still have a Striped Sunglow that was not triple Homozygous. You could have a Striped Sunglow that was Homozygous for Striped Albino, but was only Heterozygous Hypo since Hypomalanism is a dominant mutation.
