Het hypo, hypo, hypo het??

[SamusTheDragon]

what do these things mean? I think it has something to do with clear nail, at least thats what I thought hypo was but now I've been seeing het hypo and hypo het. Can someone explain these terms, or perhaps there's a site that explains all this beardie vocab. Thanks =D

http://www.google.com is a WONDERFUL source of info, you do this thing where you type exactly what you wanna find out about in this search bar, and it does some magical calculations and finds multiple sources for the answer

but if you want someone to just hand over the info, its extremely easy if you think about it. hypo = 20 clear nails and lack of the black pigment, het hypo means they just carry the gene for that genetic trait but doesn't mean they are showing it. and its pretty safe to assume whenever you've seen hypo het that there is usually another word after het, like translucent, or leatherback, or whatever, meaning they are hypo and het(/carry the gene) for the other trait listed.

I agree that link is great, I have read over that about 10 times myself, I always have trouble remember which is which of the Leucistic and Translucent.

No such thing as a silly question on this site (well, we won't tell you if it is!lol) Looking back over my old posts for info I may have forgotten, my questions seem like they came from a different person Acutally, they did :mrgreen:

Now I know better on many things......with so much more to learn! And what an amazing community we have here, yes?

my problem is remembering what hypo means cause that alone means less so a hypo orange means less orange and I also think about other herps like the ball python and the meaning of hypo with them
