Hi!
Salmon is a type of hypo like coke is a kind of soda. This is the line made popular by Rich Ihle of salmonboa.com, but they're all over the place now. Most of the colombian hypos you see are salmons, but I believe they originated in Panama.
The Gee line hypos are something different. Believe they also call them “orange tails.” They’re Central American as well. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.
Hope that helps!
Aaron

Answer: Hypos are Hypos....but not all are created equal!

It's like saying you have a Mercedes and I have a Lexus....They are both cars.....

Salmons & Gees - Two names of two Hypo lines.

Hypos are Hypos! Some say....

It just depends on the look....buy a drab looking hypo....and breed it to a normal and make even drabber...lol....looking hypos!

Buy a shocking Red orange yellow Hypo and get the Rolls Royce of the hypo world....Breed that to anything and still get amazing animals!!

Good stock makes good products.

salmon line tends to change patterns and throw stripe animals more often. while gee line hypos often show little or no change to patterns. gee line hypo motleys and arabs tend to look like motleys and arabs with crazy colors while salmon hypo motleys and arabs loose a lot of the pattern that the morphs are know for. gee line ghost. hope that helps
