I have been getting ready to say this for a while and since I usually say what I think, (except when I think something mean), here it is:



What is this Boa!?







I think it's very obvious exactly what this animal is. Look at this thing!







This is a 50/50 Surinam/Colombian exhibiting the Surinam version of "Motley" like mutation. There I said it! Are you people happy now!? I am.



I think the Roswells are another form of Motley Boa. The Central American Motleys are different from the Colombian Motleys and the Surinam Motleys are different from both. OK, so it doesn't make a more or less utterly patternless "Super". So it can't be a Motley. Great! That’s perfectly fine with me. It makes something that in my view is far better than a Super Motley. The Roswell is a crazy unBOAlievable animal and I can't wait too see my first one covered in goo! That’s a Roswell like Heather has shown us in the picture above and or a Super! I can’t wait!



I guess it isn't as commonly known as I thought it would be by now, but it's as obvious to me and everyone that has seen all the pictures that Heather has posted. The litter she has produced show babies that are clearly sortable into three camps. Roswells, half Roswells or laddertails, and regular baby Boas. We will probably be able to say with even greater definity after another breeding season, but it's ridiculously obvious.



LOOK AT THIS THING!!! IT’S A PERFECT BOA!!!
