identical are 2 different things. I doubt a single one of the burms that were proven to be produced via parthenogenisis were identical looking they just have the same genetic makup their mother does. If the mother were a co-dom hypo she'd have genes for both a normal appearance and hypo appearance. We know this because if she only had genes for the hypo appearance she'd be a super, and she has already proven not to be in the past. So I think the babies could look like both in theory..

I don't know if this is what happened in this litter, but it would seem the mothers genes would be inheritable to the offspring both ways.
