How many breedings do you think have been done to make the super motley? I am sure it hasn't been done as many times as you think.



I am certain outcrossing the motley gene with other recessive and co doms will strengthen it to produce healthy and robust adults.



As far as other boas that are inbred living full term lives? I have yet to see a 30 year old Albino boa or any other morph that you talk about.



Tracey Barker mentioned to me that her super motleys from an albino motley x motley breeding are doing just fine. The whole group is thriving and growing.



I have kept motleys since 2003 and I have had some unfortunate litters but I think positive and keep trying to make new crosses. If this was a dead gene, I do not believe that a lot of the educated members of this community would keep trying to breed this morph.



Good luck with your future motley purchase. You wont find a better boa out there!
