Salmon and Orangetail

[JimiSnakes]

I must correct some information you provided. Switch the origination of the lines.

The Salmon hypo is Rich Ihle's line which originated from Central America(possibly Panama but not proven). He bred out to Colombian bloodlines. So the majority of Salmons are a higher percentage Colombian since the originating father was Columbian.

The Orangetail hypo is from Panama. Jeff Gee kept his bloodline Panama. He bred Panama to Panama. I have some of these and they are different from the Salmons. They are definitely more orange. They tend to be smaller as well. I have a 5 year old male who is only 4 1/2 feet. The female (not in pic) is also 5 years old and about 6 feet 14 lbs. Normal Columbian females are more closer to 20+ lbs at this length.

Now it isn't easy to find pure non-mixed Orange tails out there since alot of people are easily confused on what hypo they have and they tend to breed to Columbians to get the albino and other morphs. But when you do find them they are definitely breath taking as they get better in color with age.

It may look crazy orange but that is how my boas look. Not photoshopped.
Head to tail they are pinkish orange. Pictured is my male Gee line and on the right is a baby from G to G. On the bottom I have my male G with a normal so you can see the color difference. Actually they are breeding.

I'm not going to debate you on this one, but I think you should go through and re-read that book you mentioned.

I thought Gee line hypos were general CA's. I had been told they were mixed. They're really pure Panama's?

They are CA's and the Salmons are from Panamanian influences. Don't know about the mixing though, but it's most likely.

CA? what is that. I keep thinking California.. hehe. Is that Columbian?

You're kidding, right?
