Thanks Paul, Give me a big enough stick and I'll convince the boa breeders

How about this for now:

Color mutations in boas:

Albino/Amelanistic - Recessive - a lack of melanin (black pigmentation) Kahl and Sharp strains.

Anerythristic - Recessive - a lack of ______ (red pigmentation) two known strains (type I and type II)

Hypomelanistic - Hypo - Dominant - a reduction in the black pigmentation

Caramel Albino (Tyrosinase positive) : Recessive - Colombian and Nicaraguan strains

Caramel Hypo (Boawoman Hypo)-recessive-a Hypomelanistic trait with similarities to Colombian T-plus Albinos and Pastels.

Pastel - Polygenic - A line of boas selectively bred for less than normal black pigment, not related to a single gene pair.

Blood - Recessive - A Hypererythristic mutation.
