A red translucent should have all 20 nails showing a black nerve inside the nails. A red hypo/trans also carries the genetic trait of hypomelanism and will contain 20 nails showing completely clear with no visible nerve inside the nail. True hypos will have all 20 nails clear. True translucent will have all black eyes... Peace J
This link will better explain in detail if you would like.
