I think at this point Salmon and Hypo are basically synonym's for each other. Six of one half dozen of another. Rich chose to name them Salmons, but remember he was the first person to have them meaning, even Jeff's line came from "Salmons". They are all still Hypomelanistic Boas. Not to mention Hypos are so mixed at this point, and there are many different lines that came from imported Central American Hypos. Maybe at some point in the future when there are more out there the same will be true of "Pastel Dream" Albino and "Coral" Albino, but I doubt it because as you said both Hypo lines came from the same bloodline while the Pastel Dreams and Corals are from different bloodlines, and it would be nearly impossible to prove them to be the same geneticaly.
