the hypo gene operates in what some people call a "co-dominant" or "incomplete dominant" manner.
that is, a normal 1st generation hypo bred to a normal boa will produce approximately 50% hypo and 50% normal babies.
What makes a super hypo is that they are the "dominant" version of hypo, so when you breed a super hypo to a normal, 100% of the babies will be hypos. (those babies will just be 1st gen "co-dom" hypos, though. you must breed hypo or super to hypo or super to get poss supers and/or supers.)
that's the general idea. terminology will vary, the co-dom vs. dominant classification of the gene will get you into endless debates... 
here is a gorgeous girl that i just proved to be a super this year!!!
