Very interesting. I didn't know there were boa paternity tests but of course it makes perfect sense. You'd look for shared DNA information. If you compared the DNA of a baby to each father you'd know who the father was and therefore which were hets for blizzard. I don't suppose there is a het test for T albino hets? Does the boa genome have to be mapped before there can be a het test?

I love that anery! She's such a beauty!

Thanks,
Caden


>>Well, the albino has been courting her, but I have not seen any lock ups between them. He may have, but who knows. If the female produces a litter I will be carrying out a paternity test on them to ensure I hold back the right animals as multiple paternity is a common occurrence in the snake world.
>>If I got both fathers represented in this litter I have hit the jack pot. That way I can hold back a pair of het blizzards and a pair of het anery.poss het T albino. >>
