to clarify, Chris is dead on with his percentages but was not clear that the babies would be split into two phenotypes, 25% normal and 75% hypo of which 1/3 would be super. Some will have a visual look as probable super - no black around the tail blotches. But not 100% reliable.

Hypo/salmon is considered a dominent mutation where the mutated gene is "stronger" than the normal gene so if in that gene pair at least one Hypo gene is present, the snake will look Hypo.

Super is herper slang for a homozygous dominant (or codominant) gene pair. So a "super salmon" has two salmon genes.
