Has anyone tried breeding this combination............

A hypo/hog bred to a salmontine? Just wondering what the offspring would look like.

I think you'd just get a boa that look like all other common hypos. Hoggs usually have so little speckling, not sure why they were crossed to hypos since they already expressed hypo naturally. Then crossing a Hypo/Hogg(high pink low speckle) to a cross(Salmontine) that is known for high speckled hypomels, probably just get a mix of lightly colored boas with weak widows peaks- some with high speckle(dirty), some with low speckle(clean), but most a moderate of the two. Interesting thought, who knows what you'd get with that kind of genetic background. Sorry. I am, for the most part, a purist. Hopefully, nobody gets on me for the Argy X's I have for sale now... ahhh, I didn't breed them.
