First I'd like to say that is a gourgous super hypo sonoran.

I have been saying that hypo sonorans and hogs look to be the same morph but different localitys. Watching hypo hogs and sunsets develop and with different breeding trials, seems to back this. My thought is a true "sunset" boa is a double super.

Here is a hog island boa compare it to the super hypo sonoran. Just look at the body color, saddle color, and tail color.


Seems like a no brainer to me....LOL...
Where one type of morph pops up it seems other will show at some point because it is the same genetic mutation just happening at different times and places. Once a boa has these mutated genes they can only pass their own genes to their offspring..

Lets look at some more examples
J Stones motleys
Roylance motleys
Cental american motleys
Argentine motleys

Salmon hypos
Gee line hypos
hypo nics
hypo panamanians
Sabogae island boas (also an island locality boa that has been changes via a dominant morph type)

Albino colombians
albino Surinames

Anerys have come from most localities
central america
colombia
peru

T albino colombians
T central americans

I would bet a pure locality specific type of most morphs will be found at some point over a long enough time span, and with some luck..
