Just to gather some opinions, and choose something to talk about I was just curious what people thought about Generalizing Hypo boas, Is it ok to put Hypos into two general types? Hypo Salmons and OrangeTail Hypos? I have noticed that there seems to be some Characteristics that distingish each of them, But I have seen them called visversa, Just curious if calling a hypo that looks more like one type or another is acceptable, I know its only a Hypo Salmon if it comes from Rich Ihles line, and its only an OrangeTail if your working with Jeff Gee's line of Hypos....Just curious, the names get used so often to generally call a hypo one style or another, Or should they all just be called Hypos.....Period...Unless working with those two distinct lines..?? As you can tell I am really bored at work and thought I would start a topic that I had on my mind... LOL
