First off, not all striped Boas are genetic - sometimes they just pop out of an average litter. Some are caused by incorrect temperatures, or temperature fluctuations.
As far as het for genetic stripes with striping -- It's somewhat dependant on the stripe length, and location. Smaller tail stripes can often occur in any litter, and doesn't neccesarily mean that it's a genetic stripe, but it could be one, or it could just be a het with connected tail saddles. I've seen ads for "striped Albinos", and the picture shows two tail saddles joined - that's not a striped Albino to me. I hope this helps, David
