Could someone explain the Hypo term? is there a hypo ball that people breed these into? or ??? is it a term for a morph at a new level?
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.

Man Chris your photography as usual rocks and it was great to see my Glow and Mimosa in those awesome pictures. Someone asked what lines were used to make my Glow. He was made by using both Bell line hypo and Bell line Caramel. He is breeding like a champ as we speak. Bring on the double het's!

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.
