>Het Hypo is very hard to understand as a newbie.

Here's one way to do it.

Homozygous = the two genes in a gene pair are the same.

Heterozygous = the two genes in a gene pair are not the same.

So a homozygous hypo boa has two hypo genes, and a het hypo has a hypo gene paired with a non-hypo (AKA normal) gene.

(picture) = an example of a homozygous hypo boa.

(picture) = an example of a heterozygous hypo.

(picture) = a normal boa.

It helps if the homozygous hypo looks more like the normal boa than the heterozygous hypo does.
