I had thought that Hammond originated the "Fine Line" boas but recently am not so certain. I know he does breed boas that he calls Fine Line that are the result of several generations of selectively breeding Columbians. I have a pair that are very nice (I say humbly). I got a thin saddled Arabesque female to breed with my male Fine Line. I had asked Steve Hammond about it and was told that yes, a thin saddled to a thin saddled will generally produce more thin saddled than a thin to thick breeding. Not a recessive trait, just blending I think you would call it.

Here is the young Fine Line.
