What do I get?

I think you'll get
50% Het for Hhypo
and
50% that are Hypo and carry the gene.

Because Super Hypo is not a recessive gene, the term (and the animals) "het. for super hypo" don't really exist.

Super Hypo is a line bred trait which is the result of breeding animals with less black dots to other animals with scant amount of black dots for generation after generation until the animals have almost no dots.

If you breed a super hypo to a normal, you might get super hypo-looking offspring, normal looking offspring, or offspring that are somewhere in the middle. But its all random. Breed the offspring back to their parents, and whatever you get is random.

If you breed an albino to a normal, you'll get normals het. for albino. They hold the gene for albino no questions asked. Breed them back to their albino parent and you'll get albinos.

In conclusion, I don't believe that a "Normal het. for super hypo" really exists, certainly not one that, when bred to a super hypo , will give you predictable results.

Ok, thanx!

I thought something like that, but wasn´t sure..

Can you or someone else tell me whats recessive morphs & whats line breed..

These I know:
Recessive:
* Albino
* Blizzard
* Patternless

Line breed:
* Hypo
* Superhypo
* Tangerine

I'm not totally up to speed with leo morphs, but I *think* that striped and jungle are recessive traits. But I really could be wrong.

I found this site, thought it was pretty good.

One more ... Ron Tremper's "Giants" are apparently a recessive trait.
