How does the hypo gene work when paired to produce combos

Just curious how the hypo gene works when paired to create combo morphs. And what are some of the best hypo combos out there? I seen Spider/Hypo Ball pythons and think they look great. I like the spider with nice orange speckles near the belly on the sides. Is the orange on the spider ball come from the Orange Ghost line? Really want to work with the Hypo gene, once I learn a little more on how this gene works.

I don’t work with any of the hypo stuff but I do know a little about it. One important thing to research is which specific line you want to work with because there are quite a few out there and some are compatible, some are not. Once you narrow it down to which line you like the best, then just be sure to choose your breeders with the compatible hypo genes. It is also a resessive morph so if your not familiar with how that works then you should read up on that. It’s not that complicated, basically the gene needs to be in both parents if you want to make visuals. You’ll need to do some researching to get all the details and how the odds work. Other than that, just choose combos that you like.

The Hypo gene is recessive so it has to come from both parents to be expressed. You can put a het Hypo to het Hypo or a Hypo to a het Hypo or Hypo to Hypo. All can produce a visual but when using het animals there may be some that don't get both copies so it isn't expressed. As was stated already there are different lines. Most are compatible but there are a few that aren't. People will say Hypo or Ghost but they are the same thing with the most common being Orange Ghost. As examples of what Hypo can do, I paired an Enchi Hypo to Lesser het Hypo and ended up getting almost every combination possible. Here are three pictures of three different combos from the pairing. In each instance the animal on the left is het for Hypo meaning it is carrying the gene but is not expressed. All of the animals on the right are the same combo with the Hypo gene expressed. The differences are clear. As far as what genes are better with Hypo, there are a few of us on here who believe, "everything is better with Hypo". I hope this helps.
