First I would like to say that the animals posted in this thread are beautiful and very unique... To me, they look like the definition of a true hypo

Secondly, I agree with Chris in many of his points...

With that being said, I think that the "hypos" that are on the market at this time should have never been labled as hypos... It is a T pos albino... This is where the confusion is in my opinion and will cause more confusion when an actual hypo is proven out...

We also need to keep in mind that most of the morphs in reptiles are not labled correctly as far as definition goes... Even the way genetics are passed down is not always correct by proper definition...

For example, by true definition, co-dominant genetics do not really work they we in the reptile hobby says it does... When true co-dominant genes are at play there is no super form...

In my opinion from what I have read, what we are calling co-dominant is actually a form of recessive genetics where the het is visual...
