A hypo is a gecko with reduced spotting, where a super hypo has no spotting whatsoever. Then there are Super Hypo Baldies...they have no spots on the head or body.

Basically the are selective bred for these traits - Some breeders feel it better to have the male as the one showing the best traits...with the females close...

Take Care,
