We all have our opinions and this is mine. I will say that I am not trying to offend anyone. Here are some things to look at.
ALL Super Motleys are born with a funky shaped head and bug eyes. Ask yourself, why is that?
Also, when breeding two regular Motley Boas together you not only create Super Motleys but also normal Motleys in the same litter as well as normal boas. The regular Motleys and normals that were litter mates to the Supers do not have any deformaties and go on to reach maturity.
Now, why is it that the Super form is deformed and the regular is not when both parents were Motleys?
Why do the regular Motleys and normals that were Super Motley litter mates live to reach a reproductive state?
Again, this is my opinion, but I feel that the genetic building blocks of the Super form are flawed in more ways then one, including the genes for the outward appereance as well as the inner workings.
In the other morph boas that have come along there were some issues with in breeding. But when done not ALL of them were born abnormal looking. For example, The Albino Boa years back in some cases the litter may of had some one eyed or even no eyed babies. Now some of those litter mate albinos were totally normal.
That is not the case with Super Motleys. ALL (not some) Super Motlets have outward deformaties, as anyone can see, just look at one.
The genes that create the inner workings we can not see.
I am not a Science expert.
Maybe I should say molecular structure instead of genes or genetics, I don't know.
There is clearly something that is not lining up properly with the Super form and in my opinion it has nothing to do with in breeding.
It is my understanding that there are some Ball Python Super forms that die as well.
I think the Super Motley is a very nice looking boa. I think these abnormalities will always exist no matter how out crossed or in bred they are.
Again, this is my opinion and I am not wanting to offend anyone. I wish some others I have talked to would post in a public forum.
I am glad someone brought this up again.
