It means that instead of ony having one hypo gene of a gene pair, it has two. That's called homozygous for hypomelanism or super hypo or super sunglow. Whem it is only half of the pair of genes carrying the hypo gene they are said to be heterozygous for hypomelanism or het for hypo. Most of the time we just call these hypos, but technically they are hets even though you can see the trait.
