I find the hypo a bit unstable in colors, but my expirience with them are limited.

what exactly do you mean by unstable in colors Bjorn?
it is a line-bred trait , so one annimal is nicer then the other one.
but sofar from two high end hypo parents i beleive all the offspring is hypo and they are quite young , they color up more till they are sexually mature.

Hi again!
My english is not so good so I can explain exactly what I mean......but.
You have the Steve Sykes hypo line I belive and that one is stable as long as you breed within the line (inbreed)
My line produced 20 % hypo 2009 but hopefully 100% next generation but if I breed it with Steves line it will probably produce normal orange amyaes.
Thats what I ment, not that your line is unstable or in general.
But, as said above, my experience with hypo are limited, as my knowelige of the hypo linebreeding.
Anyway, dam nice geckos!!!

Is a hypo an amelanistic? Or is it just a line bred trait?

Nice amyae, really beautiful, I love to have some, some day.
Are they from Steve Sykes,if so, I also have from him, but the orange one, but I hope to find some hypo in my incubator, one day

Its a a line bred trait I belive, orgin from Steve Sykes.
But for 2 season I had some offspring (2 0f 10) from a sertain combination that gave what seams to be abit lacking dark pigment. They differ alot from their sisters and brothers. Pics will soon be uploaded as soon as my camera is home again. What this is you can tell me when you see it.

yes, that guy is really amazing, definitely the nicest lightest amyae I have ever seen. I would pay a nice sum for that male!

this is indeed fro the hypo line amyae from Steve.

hypo-melanistic (means; reduction of black coloration) is a linebred-trait ; so created by selctive breeding over several generations .

amelanistic is a recessive trait like albino and patternless.
there is nothing you van do to increase the possibilityof a new recessive trait, you just need to be very lucky!

so Bjorn if you want to breed a hypo to your line thats possible .
lets say it this way ; if you breed the best hypo to a normal annimal you will get babies that are somewhere in between in coloration(black pigment).
but you can also have a peak up (a hypo) or a peak down (a normal)
the best/fastes way to get a hypo is then off course hypo X hypo , but it is possible to breed to a normal only that takes more time(several generation probably) to get a hypo.
you say some annimals already lack of black pigment so your half way trough!!
i hope this clears up the sky

@Tony , this is a female , but indeed with very litle black pigment left and she is about 16 grams and they color up til sexually mature , so she will probably become even nicer.
i will make an update intime.
