Hybrid Burm X Indians do not require permits.



The 'true' hypos you've seen are also het for leucistic, correct?

Since hypomelanism is simply a word used to describe animals that have less than normal amounts of melanine, hence are lighter in color, don't you think that the leucistic genes may be partly responsible for the extreme visual differences between wild type Burms and the 'true' hypos you've seen?



It would follow that burms with reduced melanine but no leucistic genetics would simply look lighter, don't you think?



Michael Cole produced the first hypo het leucistic burms, I believe. Obviously they look substantially different (read:better looking) than the animals I've posted pictures of. That being said, I don't think the word hypo belongs exclusively to that line of Burmese. It's a description, not a brand name.



If everyone in the world had the same skin color as Stevie Wonder, then Britney Spears would be considered hypomelanistic, right? But so would Eva Longoria, even though she isn't as fair skinned as Britney. And both hypo descriptions would be correct since they are both obviously lighter than the norm.



Sorry to be so annoying about this.
