JJ,

I, like you, am not extremely well versed in morphs. However, I do believe that if a trait is recessive, there is no such thing as a "super" form of it. So, if it's recessive, we've seen the highest form of expression, except in the case of selective breeding.

For example, an albino boa is recessive. Hets can't be visually distinguished from normals, just like we speculate with the Hypers, hence "possible hets". Only the albino is visually distinguishable. Breeding two albinos together only makes more albinos, not a super albino. Make sense?

Hope that helps and I, like many others, look forward to solidifying our understanding of the genetics behind the "hypers".
