I don't keep up with the boa morph area very closely. Am I correct in assuming the salmon trait is the equivalent of the spider gene in ball pythons? Meaning it's a dominant gene and the homozygous form is visually no different than the heterozygous form, the only difference being the inability of the homozygous form to produce normal offspring.

The problem here is that I am unfamiliar with the ball python spider gene. The hypo gene in the boa constrictor is a co-dom gene, roughly half the offspring are hypo. The appearance of a super, which is dominant, is more intense, much like the tiger gene in retics. Hope this helps.
