Hi,
I can test the paternity of the boas a couple of different ways. For example, ISSR's, multi-locus fingerprinting, AFLP's. However, I am going to use microsatellites. I am currently developing these and they should be ready once the babies arrive.

As far as testing for hets, well, I have been talking to Pete Kahl about this. The problem is, we would need to know the gene responsible for the pattern/colour variation. This we do not know. Even if we had the genome sequenced we would still have a lot of work ahead of us to find out which part of the genome contains the gene for the variation. This, again, we do not know.
