Okay so i posted last week about a genetics question and i got a few replies. I am just writing to answer some questions i received.

I now know what the mother is for sure. A salmon 100% het albino double het sunglow, bred to a nice pink normal.

I am just wondering what kinda boa i should invest in to breed to my salmon 50% het as a good investment.

Also i have heard that salmon is dominant so does that mean that no matter what all my babies would be salmon?

First, you are correct. The hypo trait is dominant, but this does NOT mean that all the offspring of this animal will be hypo, about half the litter will be hypo.

I am guessing you want to make sunglows, to do this I would either purchase an albino or a 100% het albino to breed to your snake. If you have more money you can get a sunglow or a 100% double het sunglow (hypo het albino) to breed in order to produce 'super sunglows.
