It all depends on the lenght of time the have been on the islands.. They all could be supers.. If they were breeding and living there long enough. Then you take them into captivity and the nicest ones get selectively bred, for better color, less speckles, and unknowingly all become supers..

Take a look at these super hypo sonorans here:

Tell you what I have got 15 babies here that look identical.. and they are pure hogs.

The fact is, if a hog is bred to a normal you do get more hypomelanistic babies than if it were to just be normal x normal breeding. Now if these are bred together I bet you'd get "blonde hypos" or boas with classic hog colors. Probably the super form of this type of hypomelanism..
