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.

DH Sunglow questions
I was wondering if I could get someone to clear something up for me. I bought a DH Sunglow male for my girlfriend, and what my question is, is DH sunglow the right terminology or would it be het hypo albino? what is the difference?

I'm no genetics expert but here is my 2 cents...
Het. is short for Hetrozygous, meaning that it carries a gene for something even though it is not physically visible. I would think Double het would mean 2 recessive genes but I believe hypo is co-dominant. In this case think it would be labeled a hypo het albino.
That would mean if you bred it to normal female you would get normals, hypos, hypos possible het albino, & possible het albinos. If you bred him to an albino you would get het albinos, hypos het albino, albinos, & sunglows.
Again I'm no expert & I'm sure others with more knowledge then me will jump but hopefully that helped a little & didn't make it more confusing on you.

You nailed it Chris. Dh sunglow is a terribly inaccurate name.

That's what I was grilled on the other day, and I just needed a little clarification. Thanks

The term dh sunglow is correct as long as your boa is not a super hypo. Het is not linked to recessive it just means it carries one allele. You might be confusing it with phenotype which is what is visually expressed (dominant,recessive)

maybe I am confused then but if het is not linked to only recessive genes then your saying hypo (co-dominant) can be het right? I didn't think you could have a boa that is het hypo?
