Put down Jeff's crack pipe he keeps on his coffee table man.
I am going to shoot a couple holes in your "hypo campbelli" suspicion's.

First,the "hypo" gene hasn't been tested to my knowledge but I wouldn't even consider them hypo.They are just like the temporalis and are probably a form of amel like t or something.Throwing the term hypo on anything these days is easy and readily excepted and by true definition anything with reduced black pigment could be considered a hypo.These animals don't have reduced black pigment they have no black pigment.Where the black would be its just a layer stripped away and is turned to a purple/brown etc....and they do have red eyes but not glowing red like a amel.Its like they made it half way to amel.LOL.....
Anyway, my point is if they are suspect then what was crossed with what in the first place to come up with them???I saw the very first hypos and they looked 100% like any other campbelli and if they where crosses from hypo hondurans or something then I am sure they would show allot of the hondo grab bag influence.I am not saying that I am 100% sure they are the real deal cause like you said you never know what goes on behind closed door.
But, I have tried to invision for a few years now how they could have come up with something like this when there is really no other gene out there like that???
