Hypo, but genetic?

What is the consensus, Hypo, or not? She was bred to a Ghost male this year, looks gravid (now, not in the pic), but not 100% sure. She is still bowl wrapping and laying upside down. An animal that is supposedly her mother, was bred in a breeding loan this year to a Mojave het Hypo, so have my fingers crossed that something will prove them one way or the other.

It's only a guess. But it leads to the question - which trait is recessive? The burg. or the "hypo" ? I'm just pondering ...

Good idea based on my lousy pics. In actuality, niether snake is Burgundy at all, but in some pics, do look Burgundy. Their real color is more of a toffee, or caramel. Same "mother" snake, different pic.
