Just a couple things I'm hoping someone can clarify for me. I'm seeing Surinam, Guyana, Columbian, etc red tails. What are the differences between the different kinds. I know some are more rare and I assume it's because they come from different areas. But I was wondering are they essentially the same for size, housing/temp requirements, have the same temperment? Also, in the classifieds they have het/hypo morphs (i.e. - het. albinos, but they look regular. What do het./hypo. stand for? I'm thinking het. means they are genetically, say albino for example, but they look normal and will produce albino offspring if bred with another het. albino, and that hypo. means they both look and are genetically predispositioned to produce albino offspring, but again am really not sure. Also, is it possible to get say an albino that just looks albino but genetic wise it would only have the same chance of producing albino offspring as a regular boa?

Wow, nice and long, sorry.

Thanks for any help, Mak
