Morph ID please

no spots: super hypo-tangerine with carrot tail filling in

some spots: hypo-tang

to the experts, am I correct? I've been trying to educate myself

I've been meaning to ask, what does it mean when a morph is "super"?

Super Hypo means it lacks black spotting on the body. They are linebred.

Super Snow, Super Giant are dominant genes that have a copy of the same gene. Let's say Mack Snow would be Am, A being the Normal gene, and m being the Mack Snow gene. Super Snows would be mm, two Mack snow genes.

As for your leos the left one looks like a Super Hypo Tangerine Baldy, could be considered a Carrot Tail, depending on who you ask. The right looks like a Hypo.

Ah, thanks for the explanation!

Isn't Hypo a co-dom? Super normally means Two copies of said gene.

Either homozygous or heterozygous for Tangerine and Hypo Carrot-Tail, two codominant mutations. With two codominant traits involved, a total of four genotypes can be present in these - and there's enough overlap in appearances to make them difficult to sort out at a young age. Specimens homozygous for the two traits tend to have the best appearance, and many breeders will price these higher as a result - and they are worth every penny! Extreme examples of the type may have as much as 2/3 of the tail covered in orange when they mature. We've been carefully out-crossing these into our Tangerine lines to enhance the body coloration. We've already produced some astounding examples with orange bodies and tails! Click here to learn more/see adults.

I see, maybe they are saying the homo forms are SUPER supers Just expressing it better. /boggle

There has been a lot of controversy on this. My thought is that Hypostyle are linebred though.
