boas are a bad example Chuck, as the salmons are obviously a pastel gene...they still retain true black and they are co-doms with a super form....they also darken with age... hypomelanistic is a reduction of dark pigment,but there should be a consensus among all breeder that simple recessive animals are the true "hypos"...and co-doms are pastels...the ball python importers asked for hypos yrs ago from the african exporters, then upon receiving the animals someone decided they should call them ghosts, even though there is no axantic gene...there will probably always be confusion with what is what when it comes to morphs... Chuck you saw the cotton i got from AL...i don't believe it to be a true hypo, due to it's true black tail...it is the lightest adult cotton i have ever seen, besides the albinos...only breeding it will tell me anything...

i have read every book i can get my hands on about morphs and still have one question, and i even called Dr. Bechtel
what due you call a normally green animal, say like a green snake or green iguana that lacks the blue pigment?...the animal is yellow where the green would be, the black spots are true black(as it's siblings), and the pupils are not red...the pattern is the same as it's siblings......

and the t negative albino cottonmouth pictured is in a museum in NC, so we will probably never see any babies from it.... and as Chuck said those cotton pictures are definitely from several different breeders...many can be viewed at venomousreptiles.org under photos, then morphs...if anyone has photos of animals not yet posted, please do...i have a bunch there...
