Your outcomes are correct but there is no such thing as a "Dominant Hypo Albino" By definition in boa constrictors, it is proven that ALL hypo's are dominant. Dominant refers to the strength of the mutant gene when compared to the normal one.

Simply stated the Hypo gene in BCI is stronger than the normal one and will be expressed in the heterozygous (and/or homozygous) form.

A Super Sunglow is a homozygous Hypo / homozygous Albino. Each and every offspring from that animal will receive a Hypo and Albino gene from that parent as those are the only genes it has to offer.

Like you already said, a Super Sunglow bred to a normal would yield a litter of DH sunglows (het Hypo, het Albino). Bred to an albino would yield a litter of Sunglows (het hypo, homozygous Albino).
