    Re: are Salmon's the same as Hypos??

    Here is an exact quote from the UK reptiles forum:

    "Super salmon (= homozygous salmon) x super salmon produces all super salmon.

    Salmon (heterozygous salmon) x salmon produces
    1/4 homozygous salmon (pair of salmon genes) (= super salmon)
    2/4 heterozygous salmon (a salmon mutant gene and a normal gene)
    1/4 normal (pair of normal genes)

    All salmons are hypos, but not all hypos are salmons. You have to be a bit careful when buying. For example, orangetail is a hypo, but it is a different line from the one that Rich Ihle established. It is not clear whether the mutant in the orangetail line is the salmon mutant gene or not. As far as I know, nobody has done the necessary testing, which is a bit more complicated than just mating an orangetail to a salmon. Then there is the Sharon Moore caramel hypo, which is a recessive mutant that is probably unrelated to salmon. Another problem that would be nice to test."

    Salmon boas are a form of Hypo. They just show more red and less black. Here is a link:

    As for size. They stay in the range of the BCI (6 -8 ft)
