Ah, I think you might be confusing the hypo trait of rainbow boas with that of boa constrictors. With boa constrictors, hypo trait is not recessive. So "hypo" and "het for hypo" would (in most contexts) actually mean the same thing. In other words, hypos are hets. The trait shows with just one allele being the mutation for hypo. The term "super hypo" is used for homozygous for hypo boas.



Thanks,

Ed

>>how can that be how can you be hypo and anery, but not homozygous for hypo and anery.... it sound like the same thing to me because you need to be homozygous for the trait to show?
