FINALLY .....HYPO RF'S ARE HATCHING

[N2TORTS]

So I am gonna ask a question, are those different than albinos?

Hypomelanistic is defined simply as a "reduction of dark pigment (melanin) when compared to a wild specimen". Hypomelanism is a genetic trait that typically results in a variable reduction of black/brown pigment, usually allowing the underlying colors to become more visual and displaying some pattern loss and or spotted. Hypomelanistic is thought to be closely related to amelanistic….. Often the name is shortened to 'Hypo'.
LINE BRED MORPHS
This refers to traits that were created through selective breeding over many generations. Traits that are line bred include hypo-melanistic (hypo),
RECESSIVE MORPHS
Albino two copies of albino gene (recessive) appearance is albino
Het Albino one copy of albino gene (recessive), one copy of “normal” gene (dominant) appearance is normal
(non-albino)

Dad was a normal cherry? Interesting! My g/f has a couple of hypos (Venezuelan) that are about 2 years old. I can't wait to see what they produce.
