All salmons are hypos but not all hypos are salmons. Salmon is a specific line of hypo. There are other lines of hypo such as "lipstick", "orange tail", and a few others. Its not very easy to get a certain line of hypos established and accepted with the boas because its often hard to distinquish what line a hypo may come from but there are a few that are well recognized.



Here are a couple examples.



This is a pastel salmon (pastel being an inheritable line breed trait--not a morph--that cleans up the black irregularity to give the animal a cleaner look)



Heres are some offspring from the above male.





Here are two examples of hypos that are not from the salmon line.







Here are some of the resulting offspring from the above two lines of hypo (not salmon) breed together. The yield was a 25% chance of being dominant. You can see the first baby obviously inherited the mothers tail color. I think the second will likely turn out to be dominant because of the drastic change in color and saddle pattern.







Hope this helps.
