A Hypo or Salmon when bred to a normal wild type Boa will produce approximately half(50%) baby Boas exhibiting the Hypo trait
and half(50%) of the litter of babies will exhibit the normal trait
So the regular Hypo would be a Boa with 1 Hypo gene and 1 normal or wild type gene.
Making this form of Hypo Boa Heterozygous form - or regular hypo if you will.
The Super Hypo carries 2 of the Hypo genes ,making this the Homozygous form of Hypo.
This allows it to pass on one of these Hypo genes to each of its babies.So it will produce a litter of all Hypo babies.
These babies will each carry only 1 Hypo gene and 1 normal gene.
Making all Heterozygous Hypo boas
If you breed The Super Hypo(Homozygous form) to a regular Hypo(Heterozygous form) out of every 2 babies
1 will be Super Hypo(Homozygous form)and 1 baby will be regular Hypo(Heterozygous form)
