But I just wasn't certain of this answer. I've been told that the salmon and hypo boas are considered "different". If they are I understand that and that's cool but would like the opinions on that as well. But the main thing I was wondering is if they are in fact different, is there a super form of any type of hypo out there? I only hear about super salmons and never really heard of anyone calling a super a super hypo. So...a hypo to a hypo with any line (if they are in fact different) makes a super hypo right?

The only real difference in Salmon Boas and Hypo Boas is from who and where or what Boa stock they originated from in the U.S.
The salmon Boa originated with Rich Ihle.
The Hypo- orignally called Orangetail many still are referred to as orangetail.
Was brought into the country and bred by Dr. Hardy(Panama was country of orign).
Both lines appear to be Dominant producing Heterozygous(normal visual Hypo or Salmon ) as well as Homozygous versions( Super form of Hypo or Salmon)
Basically they are the same genetic anomaly.
