I just purchased my first Honduran vanishing. Now I want to know,Is this a Co-dominant or Recessive trait? 
It's neither actually. It's more of a randomly occurring trait that isn't always very predictable, but it depends on the lineage of what was consistently produced from any given pairings really. You can get extremely vanished, normal patterns, pin-bandeds and or vanished pin-bandeds, and anything in combination in between in any given clutch quite often. In other words, it varies quite a bit and not so predictable. However certain pairings can and do produce fairly consistent vanished offspring. I would consider that more of a nice slightly vanished on the sides pin-banded specimen...
A pin-banded extreme hypo....

a partially vanished hypo het anery (from extreme sire)

a very vanished hypo....

slightly vanished pinner tricolor hypo.....

an extremely vanished amel Hondo.....


very vanished hypo.....

pin-banded ghost (hypo x anery)

slightly vanished ghost along the sides...
