Hypo/Salmon?

Is a Hypo the same thing as a Salmon?

This is the conclusion that I have come up with...The morph Hypomelanistic is the same in all the hypo and salmons, The differences is that not all Hypos are Salmons, but all Salmons are Hypo. The Label "Salmon" is what Rich Ihle from Salmonboa.com gave to his line of boas, if you work with Hypo boas from his bloodline then you have Salmons, Its like Salmon is a name and Hypo is the trait. But today both are used so much that they almost have become the same. I try and call mine Hypos cause I am not sure exactly if they are from Rich Ihles Salmon Bloodline. Hope that helps and hasn't confused you any more.

	Morph A morph is a color or pattern variation that is proven to be genetic. Common morphs include albino, anerythristic, gentically striped, Hypomelanistic, and many others. Morphs also include combinations of simple traits such as "Sunglow" which is Albino and Hypomelanistic. These traits may be recessive traits, co-dominant traits, dominant traits, or created through selective breeding (ie Pastel).

LOL..Sorry, Ok how about this...Salmon is a name of a line of Hypos, Just like there is Kahl albinos and Sharp albinos, Salmon is just identifing a certain kind of hypo, thats what I believe. Today lots of people use Hypo and Salmon like they where the same thing. All Salmons are hypos but not all Hypos are Salmons...Did that help or worsen things...LOL
