I have problems finding out what the two terms show in alternas. I really want to know though, but was never able to find out myself. Can anyone show me a good example of these two? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

So are you looking for a double-recessive homozygous "ghost" or an anery and a hypo (separate single mutations on separate snakes)?
Here's a Sanderson Anery.

Hypomelanistic animals have a reduced (Hypo) amount of Black (Melanin). And, Hypermelanistic animals (including people) have increased (hyper)amounts of melanin.
Anertheristic animals have a reduced amounts or lack of red pigmentation..
