happening, and saw a young amarali with that condition at a small show from a vendor who sells on KS.



I have no idea what causes it. My guess, because these are delicate boas (must be kept under strict husbandry) it could be something in your care pracitices. Might be from a bad food source (the thing that usually goes wrong in an otherwise perfect collection). It might be due to the small gene pool. I have also seen this in a few Kahl Albinos. I can't think of any other boas that I've encountered with these ailments. There has to be some cause, but I don't know what, or how to check for it.



It might be worth getting blood work done just to see if that shows anything.
