I can say that Sabogae didn't start the Salmon/Orange Tail bloodline because of the Matriarch. As I have repeatedly said, she is a BCI (locale is uncertain). By counting dorsal rows, ventrals and subcaudal scales this is known. This information DEFINES the various subspecies.
If the Sabogae are getting roughly 3k each, why would someone have one and sell offspring (even if crosses) for so much less?
The Hypomelanistic (Salmon/ Orange Tail, Nicaraguan, and Sonoran varieties) trait is a MUTATION in the natural GENOTYPE of Boa constrictor ssp. It is inherited through Dominant gene inheritance, the heterozygous are bred together to form a 1/4 (by punnet squares) Homozygous individual. This means that in the F2 (second fillial generation) and each succeding generation Homozygous individuals are produced (called Supers), which have a matching pair of alleles for the trait in the pair of chromosomes that holds the gene. The non-super Hypos have only one allele (thus heterozygous for the double alleled animal).
Sabogae have a color which they evolved to suit their natural habitat.
Please visit Salmonboa.com and read the description of the Salmon trait and its inheritance and development. Also view a picture of the matriarch and talk to Rich Ihle.
