If the parent salmon boa has a pair of salmon mutant genes, then all the babies will be salmon, with a salmon mutant gene paired with a normal gene.
Statistically, here's what the babies will look like if the parent salmon boa has a salmon mutant gene paired with a normal gene:
1/2 salmon
1/2 normal looking
In addition, no matter what the genes at the salmon locus are, all the babies have a 50% chance of being heterozygous albino and a 50% chance of being heterozygous anerythristic. Some will be normal, some will be heterozygous for only albino, some will be heterozygous for only anerythristic, and some will be heterozygous both albino and anerythristic. But the only way to tell anything about the albino and anerythristic genes is to raise the babies and do breeding tests.
Hope this helps.
