Here's some info to get you back in the loop.

There are 4 verified types of hypos, which are incompatible with one another:
HypoA - the standard hypo we've had for years
Sunkissed (HypoB) - Kathy Love strain from her oketees
Lava (Trans) - Joe Pierce strain which is markedly different from other hypos
Ultra - The homozygous form of this gene doesn't look very different from the standard hypo... however it appears to be codominant and is possibly an allele with amelanism. Animals which are het ultra, het amel have a distinct look to them which is somewhere inbetween.

And then there are a gazillion forms of hypo out there which have NOT been verified and may just be new names of old morphs, or could be entirely new. Breeding trials are still in progress. This list includes Dream hypo, Pumpkin, Christmas, Tequila Sunrise, Frosted hypo, and probably many others...
