I have yet to see one that looks like what I would expect from a Hyper Erythristic Boa though. I have, and have seen lots of other Boas that are much more red that the Blood Boas I have seen. I have seen tree boas that are redder than any Boa Constrictor I have seen. Colubrids that have red that is much more vivid than Blood Boas are. A Melanistic Boa would be totally black. Much blacker than any other Boa out there. In the same way a true Hyper Erythristic Boa should be more red than we have ever seen. But they are not. In fact most of them are orange. Kind of a dirty orange. I am not trying to disparage, I am trying to get my head around what exactly might be going on with them. I am considering getting into them and trying to figure out what is going on with them to determine if Blood Boas may be a way to make something really really different using just the right something else. This would be easier to do if I could understand what is going on. But alas, my finite and glue fume damaged brain so far are unable to make sense of it relative to other better understood mutations.
