I am not here to judge you so lets get that out of the way. My favorite case in point is the Salmontines. They are muts but beautiful mutts. Here's what I think. How 'suri' they would look would depend on your eye. The suri traits are many. If you had a great eye and you could truely select the babies over time, that had the most suri traits in a number of generations you might get a hypo animal indistinguishable from a suri to most folks anyway (I am picky, I know I am).

The other thing that occurs to me is that maybe you'd do better making anery suris, than hypos (yada yada I know it's a recessive gene and would take longer etc) here's why. I have never seen an anerythristic suri (except the one I made in photoshop, it was great looking too), but I think I have seen a few hypomelanistic suris. Christian Clodfelter of Redwood Reptiles just bought one and Koky sold one last year too. I don't know if you'd want to go to the extreme effort to produce a hypo "suri", when likely there will be real hypo suris showing up in a little bit? Yours would then still be oh some percentage colombian and likely a different hypo strain too. The one Christian has is definitely hypomelanistic, but it remains to be proved genetics (it's a WC and about a year old). Very reduced black. But it doesn't appear to be the same strain of hypo. You can tell this by the upper tail region where there are still the black rings around the saddles.

You should also check out John Lokken's animals he produced hypoXsuri and aneryXsuri hets animals this year I believe.
