I think Joe about answered them all Jo. Ditto to everything he said. Just a few more random thoughts ...
As far as the compatibility goes, just make sure you talk to the breeder you get your hypos or het hypos from ... a good breeder will "know" if they are sending you something that will "work" with other hypos ... there are very few hypo-ish animals out there that are not compatible and lots of people selling het hypos from unproven animals that are indeed light, but probably normal so be careful.
Hypos work well with other morphs because they decrease the dark pigment (melanin) giving the snake an overall brighter appearance. There are only a few hypo combos compared to the big picture, so the future is "bright" for the hypos.
One of the things I love about hypos as an investment animal is that their price is on the rise .... Long time ago I paid $750 for a hypo male and $1,200 each for a couple of hypo females and today those prices are doubled at least ... I wouldn't think about selling a hypo girl for anything!!
As far as the platty hypo comments ... Lesser platties have been bred to hypos to produce lessers het hypo .... There's no hidden hypo gene in the lessers.
I think that's all I've got for now!! ... HYPOS ROCK!
(This message is certainly biased because I own and sell hypos ... someone that doesn't own hypos might feel otherwise ... take it for what it's worth)
LOL
ROCK ON!
