It's easy to understand. If a Honduran is expressing the albino gene (albino or snow) it is impossible to know by visual observation if it's also expressing the hypo gene. An albino and a hybino can look the same. A pearl and a snow Honduran can look the same.



There is a lot of variation in what a snow or albino Honduran can look like, and this further complicates judging a snake by it's appearance (phenotype).



I don't think anyone could tell the difference between an albino corn snake and a corn snake expressing both the albino gene and hypo gene either.
