Several years ago we bought a group of boas from a woman in Austria. She sold them to us as an unknown type of "hypo" that she produced from two normal boas. When we received the boas we were more than disappointed because it appeared that all we got were some Hogg Island boas. In fact, months after that a gentleman in Germany contacted us about his "T+ Honduran boas" and after getting his pics we were even more unsettled because they were the exact same pics we received on the boas from Austria. He promised that the pics were his and she was mis-representing her animals. The whole thing was disappointing and many times we strongly considered wholesaling the group and cutting our losses. Its a good thing we did not!1

This season I decided to pair the nicest male with the least attractive female just to see what happens. The litter arrived several weeks ago and while we still are not sure what we have, we realize now that something is going on with them. We got 13 babies and 7 of them look "hypo" or "T+" and 6 of them look normal. The first two pics are of two from the litter and the third photo is one of the unique ones next to a T+ Nic.

So what do you think we have here? There are both hypo characteristics and T+ characteristics. We are leaning towards one theory but want to hear your thoughts on this project! If any of you have alot of experience with Hondurans, please comment!







Thank you much,
John
