Opinions..f5 vs f6 hypo, more desirable?

combs reptiles Apr 21, 2009 06:13 PM

I have an oppurtunity, to acquire 2.4 f5 hypos, they would breed next year to produce what im told, would be f6 hypo.
I imagine youd see less black, etc etc. Other then that what would be the pros and cons of such a litter?
Would they have a higher market value?
I imagine they would be rather stunning, other then that, probally just another hypo.
They would almost certainly dominant, to where when bred to a normal would produce all hypos.
Thoughts and ideas of any sort, welcomed and appreciated.
here is a sample pic .
Thanks
Mike

Nice looking snakes.

If those f5 boas are brothers and sisters from four generations of brother X sister matings, the line is overdue to be outbred to less closely related stock. Just my opinion.
