Im pretty sure hypo is less than 10 and super hypo is 3 or less. Standards keep getting tougher though since leos keep getting nicer and nicer, so im not 100% sure, but i think those standards are fair.

does headspots count in to these 3 spots?
I have a gecko with only 2 spots on her back, I bought her as hypo.. but is she really super hypo then?

a gecko with no spots on head is called a "baldy"

2 spots on body would make yours a superhypo, at least by the old definition, though some may now define superhyppo as no spots on body
