    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

COLOR fading

no...not at all. In the genetic Hypos the orange/yellow color is conected to the Hypo gene.

rhac, I am certain that the tang coloration was introduced to the hypo line and refined over the years by line breeding..... The original Hine hypo line was pale yellow..... It was what some people are calling "ghost" now..... The tangerine coloration has nothing to do with genetic hypomelanism in leos.....
 
The original Hine hypo line was pale yellow
sorry, but that's wrong.
His Hypo Line descend from Hypo Wild caughts, and those animals already had this orange/yellow color. That's what Ray Hine himself told me.
Of course it was no real orange. More a yellow-orange and of course line breeding had been done, to get a better orange.
But if the orange coloration only comes from line breeding, the babies I hatch out from Super Hypo Tangerine x Wild caught normal would not have the same color like the Super Hypo Tangerine (I see, I'll have to post my experiences and results from last breeding season where I did test breedings with my Hypos).
