I messed up the first time I posted these pics

np

I'm asking because I genuinely don't know. How can you tell the Salmon line from the OT line?

Thanks for any insight!

Even in these pictures, I am reasonably confident that this is a Salmon. Itlooks like a nice salmon. I have Salmons and Orange-tails and can easily tell them apart. This is a younger boa so some of the color changes may not have started, but the tail looks to be solid red.

One thing is for sure, it is a hypo.

This is one of my Orange-tails in the pic. She had 28 healthy babies last year. I forget the ratio of hypos to normals, but it took a few sheds to see a difference between the hypos (Salmons vs. OT). I could see different traits, but some of them were supers/poss. supers and very hard to compare.

I didn't notice, lol.

To my understanding, the salmon line tends to have more aberrancies and has a different orange/pink "salmon" color to them in general. The Gee line hypos tend to be more brown/brick red and have a more uniform pattern. I believe this to be more true to the original looks of the lines and these days with all of the years of outcrossing blood, it would be difficult to differentiate the lines.

I am no expert on the hypo lines and could be totally wrong, but that is my understanding of it.
