that some of the babies from each litter take a majority of the traits that define their color from their mother.
Since half of the baby's genes are from each parent, and it can be any half, some might get the dose from mom.
I would think this has great potential for selective breeding, as it appears in the F1, even if it is not reliably reproduceable (genetic) when bred to other (unrelated) boas.
