I have a '05 female axanthic het amel. sand boa that I was planning to use for a snow project. Ever since this boa was a baby, she has never had a strong feeding response. From records, she would eat two consecative weeks, then refuse food for the next four weeks. wash, rinse, and repeat...

Since I'm under the impression that the feeding response of the parents have a strong outcome in the feeding response of the offsprings, I plan on not using her in the my project. I have contacted the breeder that I bought her from to see if he had an axanthic females with a stronger feeding response. From his understanding, all axanthic sand boas had weak feeding responses compared to normal and amelanistic. Is this statement true?
