OK, I´m back.
In my opinion, a "Hypo" is an "Nominat" with an reduced amount of black.
I think it is a kind of line-breeding, like they do at the Leopardgeckos or the Pastell-Boas.
The main point is, that an "Hypo"-gene should only have an influence at the amount of black and have !NO! effect on the melanin-synthesis-cycle!
Nobody would say, that the Banana-BP or the Piebald-BP is an Hypo.
The best sign for an "Hypo" would be the reduced amount of black and a black tongue(as a sign of an "healthy" melanin-cycle), like it is at the "Blonde"-Hogs, for example.
and by the way:
ALL! Toffeebellys have the Paradoxspots and they did not increase. They become only more visible, when the snake grows.
I hope my english did not fail to much.
