Salmon and Orangetail

[Hyper Joe]

To be completely honest, i totally read your post wrong and sincerely apologize. I thought (for some odd reason) that you were trying to say that Salmons WERE NOT from Panamanian bloodlines and that Jeff's were FROM Central Americans (which is wrong and right in the same context, we were both speaking the same language but different dialect). Having spoke with Vin many times (he's a good friend of mine) and reading the book, I got some of the "unknown" facts mixed up with the "book" facts. I'll have to clarify this the next time I speak with him.

For the record- Salmons are stemmed from Panamanian bloodlines "hypothetically", but in no way absolutely proveable.

Orangetail Bloodlines are from "central american" bloodlines, which equals about the same in my book.

And for the record and your knowledge- when someone says CA it means Central American in the Boa world. Not California.

Well, you can get it from the horses mouth tell him to post an explanation hehehe. I can only rely on what is documented. When I got into breeding boas.. I really liked the supposed "orangetail line". I read and talked to alot of people about the different lines. But just to make a sale some people lie.. So I didn't know who to trust so I used my experience in what I seen and finally the book came out. Then I thought wheww.. finally closure. Now.. back to point A?

Yeah this stuff is confusing. Maybe Vinny and Ihle need to post it somewhere. So we can get both sides on paper. Though both are hypo pioneers in my eyes. I just want a line drawn somewhere since I truly believe there is a visual difference and a size difference.

Now on that note - I have been selling my baby hypos and poss supers as orange tail/Panamanian for the ones that I have not bred out of their linage and they visually are different from most salmons. I like to be true to my customers so now I should just say they are orange tails and forget about Panama until this is cleared up? Moral issue.. I like to make sure I pass on the correct info to others. Especially my customers. hmmm

PS - thanks for the info CA= Central American.
