Definitely some of the prettiest Mexican Boas I've seen !

I've heard some pretty interesting stories from some Mexican Boa
guys that do some herping searching for wild Mexican Boas.

I wish I could verify some of the stuff they have said
about wild Boas they've seen !

Many Phenotypes I'll put it like that. If what these guys say is true.

There are or will be some great Mexican Boas with spectacular
phenotypes for all of us to work with !

First, I want to say -- very cool looking Boas .

> Do the Sonoran Super Hypos work the same as Salmon/Orangetails do (genetically speaking ) ?

> Would a Salmon x Sonoran Hypo produce Supers ?

Thanks in advance for the answers -- I don't know much at all about the Sonoran Hypos ( even though I own one ) .

Thank you for the comments.
Just like other hypo Bci, the hypo gene in Sonorans functions the same way. It is an incomplete dominant trait with a heterozygous form (hypo) and homozygous form (super).
I am not aware of anyone breeding it to an orangetail or a salmon, and therefore do not know if it is indeed the same mutation. That said, I would not know why anyone would want to cross it anyway.

I understand , and agree -- but I was just asking for knowledge, and info . I thought that someone might have tried it by now .
