well my friend, i dont know why you feel the boas to be a bad example, because what you say eliminates my point. they have been called hypo for many years. they are accepted as hypo to most of the snake world, BUT.....the contemporary school of thought says they are not hypo. so, if my point was, there is no consensus as to what is "hypo" then the boa is a sterling example of that, wouldn't you agree? of course, there will be others come behind me and say i am incorrect, but in the opinion of chuck hurd, your cotton is a hypo because it clearly lighter then a average cotton and therefor necessarily lacks some of the dark pigments. now, i would agree there are varying degrees of hypo and yours is not as hypo as the one dan posted, but still hypo none the less. now, the morph naming council will not see it that way, i understand that...but again back to my original point, there is no absolute. its a more a matter of opinion then a science.
