Hypos and salmons are the same thing. Many people will argue that Salmons are from Rich Ihle and that Hypomelanistic boas are from Jeff Gee but that really proves nothing as they have both have bred similar looking salmon/hypos. Some people will say that the pattern is the difference yet it has been proven that the more you breed the salmon/hypo gene the more that the pattern reduces and cleans up. Hypos and Salmons have the ability to produce similar offspring; anyone that differs has not seen all of the offspring produced by the salmon pioneers. Jeff does produce salmons with little pattern and Rich has produced boas with lots of it. If I am correct Jeff currently has an adult female for sale of which has a lacking pattern and Rich has a few salmons with detailed patterns, the opposite of what they are known for. “Salmon” was a word used by Rich Ihle to describe the color of the boas, not the pattern.
