If Hogs were a dom animal then why the crosses? Just like as you said about the motleys....but if you breed them to a normal you get two distinct phenotypes. What I think happened with the sunsets is someone got ahold of a hog boa that had already had a string of polygenic traits that when bred to a hypo ......the rest of the string was completed....and out pops the sunsets. Others have tried to produce sunsets...with no luck. It was said the sunsets were only produced from a certain line ...DM breeders....

I think if someone keeps breeding for that look they could eventually replicate it, but it could take a loooong time.

Buying a sunset boa....may yeild more sunsets if bred to the right animal, but I still think it would be a big gamble...

Another 2 cents...... Andy
