I would not classify him/her as a super. The "supers" have almost no saddles leading to reverse stripes. Your boa resembles a cleaned up arab. It is similar to the sunburst arabesque Hammond was breeding. They had more color and less speckling. Your boa appears to be a "pastel" arab. Maybe the hypo caused the reduction of speckles. Arabesques are just like jungles. A jungle to a normal gets you great looking babies. A jungle x jungle breeding gets you WOW! The same applies to arabesque. An arabesque x arabesque breeding resulted in babies with more pattern abnormalities, not just better color. That cleaned up kid you have really shows off the pattern well. Although I don't think it will prove to be super, I do think the reduced speckles will breed true. Congratulations on a beautiful boa.
