So.........the fact that "extreme" hypos originated from everyday typical hypos has nothing to do with it, and that they can have great variation within their clutches??...

I am very aware of every single thing you are mentioning, as well as every specific type of snake and mutation{s). Some of those are definitely t-positive albinos in my opinion. But discerning every one by what they seem probably is not nearly as simple as you are describing.

Also, this 5th pic down in my earlier post is NOT of t-positive albinos, not even the lighter one. Those are both hypos from the same "extreme ghost project clutch. I produced those by breeding my best hold-back extreme hypo (het for nothing) to my nicest straight-up ghost (hypo x anery) female that is also het for nothing. And the offspring are both obviously very different variations of hypomelanism. See, if the extreme sire wasn't a hypo, these hatchlings would both be very NORMAL phenotype double hets for hypo and t-plus if this were the case. This is why I KNOW for a fact that "extremes" are hypos and not "tyrosinaise positive" like certain other snakes in the hobby.... I already knew this long before, but this proves it once again that the extremes are indeed hypos,...simple as that.
