to me atleast, that salmons tend to reduce the overall pattern, and the hypos tend to keep the pattern. So, would a hypo x argentine show more argentine influence than a salmontine? Would a bloody hypo be less abberant than the bloody salmons? I'm not sure, but these are things I'd like to find out in the future. Take care

I imagine if you use any hypo line other then the Ihle ab line the patterning would be much less sporadic.. I also want to know if hypo argies would be more patterned.. Would be nice if they were..

From what I understand the Hypomelanistic trait, is highly variable, and it depends on what you breed it with, the offspring will look different from someone elses offspring. It all depends on what you breed the "Hypo Salmon" to. From what I understand the original "Hypo Salmon" came from a hypomelanistic central american, and has been bred to a colombian boa. The person who first coined the name "Salmon" is Rich Ihle, That is the name he gave HIS line of hypo boas, but the genetic trait is called Hypo, short for Hypomelanistic. So from what I get the Salmons are Hypos, but not all hypos are salmons. So unless you are working with Rich Ihle's Salmons, they would be called Hypos???
