Hypo (pos Super)
This Hypo is labeled "pos Super" – possible Super Hypo (homozygous). Super Hypo carries two copies of the Hypo allele instead of one, resulting in dramatically reduced melanin: the animal is significantly lighter than a heterozygous Hypo, with warm tones dominating almost completely and minimal pattern contrast.
The "pos" designation indicates that this animal's phenotype is consistent with Super Hypo but has not been confirmed through breeding trials. Definitive confirmation requires pairing with a known non-Hypo animal: if all offspring are visual Hypos, the parent is confirmed Super. Hypo is intermediately inherited and originates from Coastal Carpet Pythons (M. s. mcdowelli).
Without a "pure Coastal" label, this animal has a mixed subspecies background. Super Hypo is the natural homozygous form of the Hypo allele – it is not a separate mutation.
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Philip at StarPythons. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and exceeded my expectations. Importing two carpet pythons from Europe might sound stressful, but Philip made it incredibly easy and kept me informed every step of the way. Both animals arrived safely, right on schedule, and in excellent condition. You can immediately tell they were well cared for, alert, healthy, and exactly as described. It’s clear that Philip takes pride in the quality of his animals and the service he provides. If you’re considering adding to your collection, especially through an import, I highly recommend StarPythons. This was a five-star experience all around, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Philip again.
