what is a Hypo?
ok I know I haven't concluded all my reading yet, but I have been doing some other reading on here and came across the term Hypo. I think I have the term Het and Homo down as far as understanding what the terms mean with respect to the genes these guys carry. I just haven't read anything about Hypo yet. I did a search, but really didn't pull anything up that looked promising. Looked to be more posts with the term hypo in it, but not actualy a meaning to the term. Thanks and sorry if it seems like an elimentary question, but I have to start someplace. Thanks everyone.

Re: what is a Hypo?
ok so now that leads me to another question. What is the difference between a Hypo and normal? for a comparison or hypo vs another morph for that matter. Thanks
Thanks for the kind words Christie, but I have been some places asking questions or seen others ask questions and They or I got shotdown for not doing some searching first. Granted its a different hobby and different board,but it was on more than one and I was just trying to cover my bases. Thanks!!!

Re: what is a Hypo?
I don't mind answering questions for people who are trying, and if you keep searching hypo you may not get exactly what you're looking for especially if you are looking at hets and homozygous. (gotta love all that terminology) If you want a great way to tell about the different morphs go to some of the big breeder sites. I love NERDs, myself. I'm not sure what you are asking exactly about the differences in morphs. It's a trait that can be produced consistantly.

Re: what is a Hypo?
Hypo = less
melanin = black pigment
hence hypomelanistic = less black pigment.

So...a hypo then has what is called a lot of "blushing", right?
0.1 ball python (Cleo), 0.1 surinam bcc (Carmen)
1.0 sunglow motley corn (Jenson), 1.0 albino burmese (Lourdes)
1.0 cat (Nicky), some mooses and ratters, 1.0 hubby (Rick)

Re: what is a Hypo?
No. not necessarily. Blushing is just a feature of the pattern that any BP can have.
hypos just produce a reduced amount of melanin.. the reduction is evenly spread throughout the whole pattern.
