Sunset boas
I've recently acquired 2 het sunset boas and was wondering if i breed them eventually, what percentage will be true sunsets and what will the others be?

Re: Sunset boas
sunset is a hogg island with a hypo columbian boa. So what is a het sunset? You'd have to have a hypo boa or a hogg island pair.

Re: Sunset boas
he says the genetics are Hypo x Hog, each of them, and if i were to breed them I would likely get 50% Sunsets. i wanted a second opinion and knowledge from people from experience, thats why im asking here

Re: Sunset boas
There is no het sunset.
It's a hypo x hogg island boa with the hypo showing through the cross. I'm not a boa morph guy so I COULD be wrong but I'm pretty clear on it.
At any rate, if they are both hypo x hog then when bred together the babies will all be 50/50 columbian x hogg and 50% of the babies on average will be hypo hoggs.

Re: Sunset boas
I thought "sunsets" were the super hypo hogs and "het sunsets" were the hypo hogs. That's how I remember it and i'll admit it's a bit of a silly way to go about it...has this changed?

Re: Sunset boas
and what is your understanding of what a super hypo hog is? (just to clarify the genetic background please)

Re: Sunset boas
From what I remember when I was interested in the cross, the super hypo hogs were labeled as sunsets and the hypo hogs were labeled as het sunsets...which makes no sense to me because it's not really a het at all...but that info and methodology has hopefully been improved since?

Could be it. It seems familiar.

So if a super hypo hogg is a sunset then these would be hypo hoggs you have.
Thus, the breeding would be like this: Note these are averages and things differ once it happens cause you know...mother nature.
25% super hypo hogg
50% hypo hogg
25% Columbian x Hogg (no hypo)

Re: Sunset boas
apparently not because the breeder labelled them het sunsets and said their abbies would be half sunsets. does this make any sense to you?

Re: Sunset boas
If they're het sunsets then they are a hypo hog and the super hypo hog would be the actual sunset. How confusing to label a cross as a designer morph.
