I'm assuming mistletoe is the one on the right? If so he/she looks like a super hypo.

Her eyes are much lighter than the others - does this determine the morph too?

Okay - I don't do genetics (yet), what is hypo, and what does it do to the animal? (How much would you have paid for her?-Was an adult when i got her)

Hypo means reduced black ie spots, so a normal hypo will have a few spots on the body normally around 6-8 but a super hypo has no body spots and just a few on the head and tail.

Yes, it is a result of line breeding, you also get super hypo carrot tails (SHCT) which is the same as yours but with the orange at the base of the tail (at least 15%) and super hypo carrot tail baldy (SHCTB) which has no spots on the head
