Hypo is short for "hypomelanistic" which is a lack or reduction of melanin (black pigment).
Hypomelanistic ball pythons are also called "ghost's". So if someone is referencing the words "hypo" or "ghost" they are talking about a hypomelanistic morph or cross.

That picture of your glow isn't the greatest, it was taken with Jerilyn's little point and shoot and of course the glow has his head hidden. But I love the color in that photo so that's why I use it. Plus it gives a setting many people can see everyday with their own collection, with the iris tub and aspen bedding. So that gives an even better idea of just how colorful your caramel glow is. :salute:

Some hot hypo combo's in this thread:gj:. These are not combo's, just hypo's.
