I’ve been thinking a lot about what the HypoSnow (Snoglo) would look like…I’ ve been reading on these forums a bit and I have come up with a discussion for debate that has peaked my interest.

So this is what I’ve gathered, in my terms (lehman)…I think that the Hypomelanistic Morph is misrepresented in the so-called hypo or salmon boas…because it simply means a reduction in black pigment where as these salmon boas also have a noticeable augmentation in red pigment. However, it seems that it is unsure on whether the yellow pigment is augmented or not….i think not….otherwise the ghost boa would be a “yellower” snake…therefore, if the yellow pigment is left unchanged; the red pigment augmented; and the black pigment diminished with this hypo trait, then by mixing in anerythrism and albinism will leave you with nothing other than what now looks like a snow boa…

However, if the yellow pigment is slightly augmented with the salmon trait, then the HypoSnow boa would look like a snow boa but with a more pronounced tone of yellow…

These are just my thoughts, I would love to hear what others have to say about this.

K.I.
