Not to take anything away from this great litter but it may not be the first quad animal.



In October of 2007 Frank Martin produced a litter in a shared project between us breeding my arabesque het for anery possible het for albino with one of his triple hets. The arabesque proved to be het for albino and we produced an Arabesque snow boa(Avalanche) along with the first ghost arabesque boa. Most people who have seen the Avalanche think it is also a hypo making it a hypo arabesque snow boa. This would not only be a quad but it would be a quad animal with two different recessive traits. It can be hard to tell moonglows from snows in general and since this is the only snow with a pattern mutation it is hard to be sure if it is a hypo until it breeds since there is no other animal to compare it to.The male will hopefully breed this fall and if it proves to be a hypo then it would have been the first animal that expresses 4 different traits in the same animal and it was produced almost 2 years ago.
