no such thing

if anything, at the most its maybe homo for 2 different hypos but 'super hypo' is very misleading

**edit: if its the 'Super Hypo Ghost' you've seen, then HAAAAAAAHAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! ...ehem... what a crock - ghosts are homo hypo anyway, so every ghost corn on the planet is a 'hypo ghost' - it may refer to a pale ghost, which if is the case then its a petshop BS name to sell a regular morph at an inflated price.

As Ian says, 'Super' is often used by people instead of Homozygous, as Hypo is recessive, all visual Hypos are Homozygous and hence 'Super'.

super is only usually used in codominant morphs where the het and homo phenotypes are different, eg. hypo and super hypo in leos and cinnamon and super cinnamon in royals etc

no reply, so they either know they've been pwned or their customer service is non existant

You'll get a better response ringing them, although I got a good service from them there email comms is non existent. I tried emailing them twice with no response. plus if you ring them that woulnd't give them the opportunity to give a BS answer as you're asking them directly.
