the term Double Het for sunset is very misleading. Double het infers that there are two seperate morph genes at play. This however is not the case with sunsets. The hogg island appearance is more of local specific hypo that has developed due to environmental conditions over a very very long time (evolved). Everything else is pretty much true though. Breed a hypo or super hypo to a pure hogg island and get either half or all hypo hoggs (half if it isn't a super hypo). Then breed hypo hogg to hypo hogg and you should get a 25% ratio of sunsets, 50% Hypo hogg and 25% hogg island x columbian cross normal. I hope this helps.
