Hi guys, we bred a poss super salmon girl to a normal male and they produced 17 babies + 2 slugs. I'm seeing some interesting patterns on them, but I can't tell if that's just normal variations on salmons (IF they are all salmons) or something else.

So what do you think? Are they all salmons?

Many thanks in advance!

It looks like you may have the jungle gene in one of your adult boas. The 5 babies you posted are hypos so if all the babies are hypo then your female is a super hypo. If you even get one normal then she would not be a super hypo. Can you post some pictures of the adults. The 5 you posted are very nice and I like 11 and 15 the best, congratulations on the baby boas.

Take care

I read somewhere that mixing certain types results in overlapping "saddles". Is that why number 4 has that long stretch on it's back?

Thanks! Then I think all babies are hypo as they are similarly "coloured". Here's the mother when she was younger:

I'm not too sure about that to be honest. Many boa keepers on FB have looked at them and said pretty surely that they are not jungles, and said that it could be the super hypo mother's genes that could've created them. Googling pix of hypo jungles confused me even more. So I guess I'll just wait for the first shed and post more pix up to hopefully get a better idea of what they really are...

They all look like hypos to me, beautiful babies!
