I am just starting to learn about breeding boas, but wouldn't be until atleast a couple years from now. Your explanation was helpful, thank you.



I was told that the salmon gene is co- dominant. Which means when bred to any normal suriname the result is half salmon and half normal suriname. So you would get a litter of half normal Columbian Surinam crosses and half hypo Columbian Surinam crosses. now if you have a Dominant Hypo they only produce hypos... So if your suriname mates with your dominant hypo your entire litter would be hypo instead of half and half.



Does this make sense?



Thanks,

Mike
