For arguments sake lets say you do breed your hypo to a het hypo and get 4 eggs.
Statistically you should get two hypos and 2 het hypos.
But you could get any combination including all het's and all hypos.
A visual hypo parent does ensure at the very least that you will get het hypos, it doesn't not guarantee you will get hypos.
A het to het breeding involves POS het hypos being created.
Statistically the odds are in your favor to get both hypos and het's because you are using a visual hypo and a het hypo.
I would be careful of anyone using the line he gave you as a red flag for a possible snake that is not carrying the hypo gene or possibly an overly cautious seller who wants you to know the possible results you could get with that breeding.
Could be either the way...but you did mention you want a guarantee you will get both.
So the buyer told you the possibilities/outcomes and he is selling bonafide het hypos with no guarantee that they will produce hypos when bred to your visual hypo male.
This is because he can NOT guarantee that, you could get any combination from that breeding like I said earlier in my response to your post.
