What is meant by hypo
example red hypo, etc
Thanks

And actually when some one says Red Hypo, you have to be careful. Sometimes a RedHypo can be intense because they took a red animal, to a Hypo animal which is mainly white, and breed them. The hypo genes turn all dark colors lighter, intensifying the red, sometimes. But if you breed the red Hypo, you will get dull whiter babies. So be carefuly, if you are looking for a pet, make sure you get a good picture of the animal you are buying, so you get something you like, what people call one thing, may be another. Hope this helps.
