Since 50% of genetics come from each parent, you'd get 50% hogg from the pure hogg and 25% hogg from the crossed parent = 75% hogg 25% other. Confusing right? haha

Salmon is similar to hypo in that there is reduced black pigment, but it has more pinks and reds. So you're boa is a salmon. Sunglow is a combination of hypo and albino, since hypo is codominant and albino is recessive, your boa would have to be a hypo het for albino to be het for sunglow. More confusion to add!

In the end, you have a great looking boa cross!

Lol, wow. I'm a little confused.

Okay. She's Hogg and Red Tail, and she has to be het for both albino and sunglow?

So if I bred her to a red tail that was het for albino, I would get some albinos that were hogg and redtail? And if I bred her to a hogg het for sunglow and albino, I would get some sunglows and albinos? Do red tails come in sunglow?

I think I need to read up on red tail and hogg genetics..
