Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

In my own breeding, f1 hypo x f1 hypo did in fact produce approx. 25% nomal boas, this was a couple yrs. ago, and I was surprised at that time to produce any normals. I do believe that a % of the resulting f2's are super and I will find out next yr.(I hope)

I always understood the Hypo/Salmon to be if you breed a hypo to a hypo, you would get 25% Normal 25% Supers, and 50% hypo... If I am correct, hypos have both a normal and a hypo / Salmon gene, so if bred together, they would still have a chance of offspring displaying that trait... normal.

I believe a correct breakdown would be...
super x hypo - 50% super 50% hypo
super x normal - 100% hypo
hypo x hypo - 50% hypo 25% normal and 25% super
hypo x normal - 50% normal 50% hypo
Im not sure exactly, this is just how i understand it... can someone hopefully correct me? thanks..

Ok......
So after a bit of reading, I am wrong about the probabilities of what could be produced by hypo x hypo. But I'm not convinced about it not being a co-dom trait. Unless someone can explain to me what difference it makes whether or not you can physically see the difference between a co-dom (visual het) and a super.
Like I mentioned in another thread,
Hypo= H
Normal (WT)= N
If a hypo is HN and a HH is super hypo, it shouldnt matter whether its visible or not. The HH genes are there.
A super tiger retic has, lets call it, TT. Whether or not you can see it doesnt matter. The genes are still there. If you breed it to a normal and you'll get all tigers.
And the same applies to a "super" hypo.
And sorry for screwing up your thread Heath.

Well the way it was just explained to me was that the hypo gene by DEFINITION is actually a DOMINANT gene that also has a "super" form. Still doesnt make much sense, but like you just said, Ill have to take the opinion of people with more experience than me (Randall in this case). Problem is that I was doing that with our little argument as well (MG Reptiles). So who to believe? I say we should do the same as every other subject in the world just read and talk to as much people as possible and form our own conclusions.
Thanks for the PAUL.....

I try to look at the hypo gene like this. Lets say that a blue eyed person would be the same as a hypo, HN. Then a person with the genes HH would have really blue eyes, the kind that leap out at you.
Not really a good analogy, but it works for me.
Paul you didn't screw up anything, discussion is what it's all about. Take care.

Nope, actually I did not. LOL I was wrong. You will most definately get normals from a hypo x hypo breeding. And until you can pick a Homozygous salmon from a litter that contains heterozygous salmons, with 100% accuracy, I will stick to Dominant mutation. Eric gave a nicely put explanation.
And not to dis the link you posted to matt's site, but here's a better one for learning genetics. And if I remember right, he literally wrote a book on the subject. LOL Mr. Pritzel knows his stuff.

Another for Boa Constrictor morphs specifically,

My 2 cents
