Does anyone know about Calico Salmons??

ajfreptiles Jun 19, 2005 10:17 PM

I had seen some pics of Calico Salmons, and I have a male that has been getting this weird color splash all over belly, but it is random....and it is not belly rot or scale rot, this is deffinately color infusing throughout boa. Also the top of body is showing blank color scales. This male is also 66% het albino, so I wonder if it is characteristic for hets to do this? Anyone ever see this? Thanks Andy

I have noticed in many of the "Calico" Hypomelanistic boas I have seen that they come from Albino lines. Maybe there is something there, who knows? YET!
