Re: Red Salmon or not ??

Salmon is a particular line of hypomelanistic snakes. All Salmons are hypo but not all hypos are Salmons. "Red Salmon" is a term I have not heard before. In order to market your snakes correctly, you should call them hypos.

Nice looking snakes by the way! Congratulations.

Re: Red Salmon or not ??

I don't know what is the origin of this variety. Probably created somewhere in the Czech Republic by selective breeding. maybe it's just a trade name created by European breeders and traders. they are more contrasting with higher expression of red. from time to time in the trade apear hypo boas called "red salmon" and there are two times more expensive than normal salmon boas. I found a little information about them on the internet and I wanted to consult to someone more experienced.


Thanks for your reply
Good luck with your breeding


sorry for my english

Re: Red Salmon or not ??

Your English is fine. I've also never heard of a "red salmon". Oftentimes, breeders will label their line in order to charge more money for the snakes. Your boas look great btw.

"Red Salmon" sounds like somebody got some Salmon offspring and wanted to add their flare to it - never heard of the term before. I will say that it is my opinion that these offspring are being fed meals that are too big for them. They should not look like that after feeding, imo .

Apparently, this strain did not go beyond the Central Europe. If it can be called a new line. Anyway, "red salmon" is often found in trade in the Czech Republic occasionally in Poland. their status is unconfirmed in the world. We are light years behind you in this field. I will try to reach Your level ... someday
