    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....

whats the definition of a hybino? ive seen hybinos that look like htbct and ive even seen some that look like bright albinos. so what traits make them hybinos?
 
Hybino is a Super Hypo Albino ! A Super Hypo Carrottail (Dominant/Co-Dom) & Albino (recessive) combination . could be a Tremper , Rainwater, or a Bell Albino

not unless your super hypo is het for albino. with the pairing you have, you will produce super hypos het for albino.Then you breed the babies back 2 gether and than you have a 1 in 4 chance of produceing hybinos.

Kyle,

Not quite. These geckos would have to be lacking their white portions, which on a normal (non-albino) gecko, would have been black. That would make them Hypo(melanistic) or Super Hypo(melanistic). Since you're stripping all the melanin away to make them albino, the black turns to white in albinos. In Hypos, the black also fades away, which would equate to the white bands in your albinos fading away gradually. So, for a gecko to be Hybino, it would have to have been a Hypo or Super Hypo if it were not albino.

To make these, you need to cross Albino with Hypo or Super Hypos that are het albino. So, starting with a plain albino and a plain Hypo or Super Hypo, you cross them the first year and you'll get offspring exhibiting various degrees of the hypomelanistic trait, since it is dominant(or co-dominant...still can't get it straight). These offspring will all be het for albino. The next year, you can breed these hypo/superhypo het albinos to another of the same or an albino and produce some hybinos. In at least some cases, you won't be positive you have them at first, because the white portions will slowly fade away as the black does with most hypos/superhypos.

This is an example of a hypo on the bottom (less than 10 body spots), and two super hypos, with zero body spots.

And, this is an example of a Hybino, taken from KelliH's gallery here on Fauna

You can see how there were some white body bands, but they have been overcome with orange. Also, there is no black on the tail, which you usually see on a Hypo/Superhypo. You'll also see Hybinos marketed as Sunglows (like from the Urban Gecko).
 
I'd just like ad that Hybinos are from Ray Hine's CT line line bred SHT isn't a co-dom/dom line. Some Hybino's as already stated take some time to have the white fade, please take the one below as an example of what you thought was a typical albino.
Its very easy to see its yellow orangish bands taking over its white as in other hypo/super hypos. Also take note in the Bald head which is common to CTs yet not in normal albinos which have patterned heads. You can also see the CT coming in although in this ones its not strong but this animal is only 2 months old.

Tang albinos aren't Hybinos, they tangs are only a line bred trait while Hybinos are Ray Hine SHCT Albinos.
