One thing is for sure, and that is they are definitely anerythristic. I do not believe these three to be identical twins as they were each in their own individual sacs at birth. All were premature, and all bear characteristics from mom that none of the other boas from the litter seem to have. For example, extremely defined muscle tone and a very, very clingy and strong grip to whatever they may be hanging onto at the time. This makes my opinion lean toward parthenogenensis, but it is only an opinion. Jeff Ronne is of the same opinion. I will find out for sure one day.

We do have a definite set of identical twin lavendar hypos from our first litter, produced in 04. They were in the sac together, and my wife and I both were fortunate enough to get to watch them emerge from it. They do not have identical patterns, but do have identical color, which is quite different from any other animal from that litter, and is very unusual and unique compared to all other hypos everywhere. We believe this to be due to the "white" trait we are working with here.
