there is a lot more involved with the hog type of hypomelinism than other types of hypo. First, I have never, nor will I, see an entire litter of hog crosses- don't really care about crossing but personally if I owned them again it would be to make pure specimens. Not that my info is very solid but I'd say that hogism is polymorphic in transmition. These boas were so finely isolated from the mainland that they have, in a sense, evolved to carry a truely dominant form of hypomelinism. IMO, it is very unfortunate that they were not given their own sub-specie.

And yes, from what I have seen, crossing any boa to a hog would result in various levels of transmition of the hogs' hypomelinism in ALL offspring.
