Those definitely are not hypos. And there might only be "SOME" Everglades lineage in them at all to be quite honest. Yours has a VERY noticeably black tongue, and an overall darker appearance not indicative of hypo Everglades rats which are very pale compared to normals, and if they were hypos, they would be even paler yet with solid red/pink tongues too.

The true hypos even have ruby-red eyes as well. Those are likely a composite of yellow x glades, or simply a line-bred yellow that is more of an orange when it matures. But they are not hypo glades for sure though.

Here are some hypo glades babies, and normal Everglades from Bill Love's original bloodline.

Jeff Cochran has some KILLER hypo glades closeups, and you will plainly see that they have VERY solid pink tongues. That doesn't change as their juvenile pattern does as they mature, because they definitely change drastically as they mature with their blotches disappearing and intense orange.
