I have a few older ones coming up but they are "light phase" or normal hypos not superhypos.....So in a couple years I may produce some super hypos. No one has bred a Super Hypo to another Super hypo yet.....I wonder what those offspring will look like?

Ya, I look forward to seeing those, too.

Maybe in 1 or 2 years we will se the result of superhypo x superhypo...

this is the young female that can answer the question...

Do the super hypos come from breeding "light phase" x "light phase"?

When you breeding a "lighphase" to a "lighphase" you will only produce lighphase-greeris.

"Superhypo" is a combination of 2 rezessiv traits:
"lighphase"aka "reduced black" and "hypomelanistic"...

Lighphase ( aka "reduced black" ) hatchling:

hypo hatchling :

and a superhypo hatchling:

Hope thsi helps,

Sorry for the late reply, not sure if you are still reading this. Thanks that does clarify things. That's neat that there can be regular hypos(with black that is lighter than normal) that are homozygous for a single simple trait and superhypos which would be a double homozygous morph.
