Here is a link to my photos of a snake i bought recently.
Does anyone know if this is a "super salmon hypo"
or is it a " pink pastel hypo boa"

I have been told by two ppl, my seller and the seller before him, that this girl is two different things.

i have no history of the parents even though i have asked both people, the original guy did not answer that question when i asked him.

Can anyone tell what this is???

Thank you for reading :D

Looks like a real neat Pastel Hypo. Not too sure aout the Super
part due to a lock of black ringing on the tail, but a sweet
Hypo none the less! Thanks for sharing!

I'd say with a fair amount of certainty this is a Pastel Hypo.
Its a Hypo/Salmon almost for certain.
Although once in awhile you run across a Pastel Boa that reduces black so far
that even the tail blotch rings are reduced and appear Hypoish .
They are very few and far in between though.

The others covered it well. I just wanted to point out that the "super" part would mean it's a homozygous hypo. Unless it came from two known super hypo parents then you will need to breed it to a normal to find out. If all the normals are hypo and it is a sizeable litter than it's a super, if you get normals, it's a normal hypo (heterozygous actually, but don't let the terms trip you up). It could be a pastel hypo or a pastel super hypo, but the super part you'll probably need to prove out with a breeding.

Yeah it would help to know its parents as well, i have asked for info on them but received none. lol i have learned a valuable lesson with this snake! But i was trying to sell her and i didnt want to put up the wrong title.

thank you guys for helping me out
