You're right, I meant to type Co-dom.



But personally to prove whether she's a motley or not, a male motley would be the last thing I would breed her with. If she is a motley than breeding her to anything will yield motleys, and you will have an answer.



If she is not a motley and you breed her to a non-motley, no motleys will show up in the litter and you have your answer.



But if you breed her to another motley, you will get motleys. So it wouldn't prove whether she is or not unless a super motley pops up in the litter.



Also, statistically speaking you should get super motleys in a motley x motley breeding but there is no guarantee. She may not produce any supers in her first litter.



AND... super motleys so far don't seem to thrive. All of the ones that I know of have died by the time they were 2 years old. If you knew this, why would you purposely produce a boa that has very little chance of living long enough to breed, just to prove whether the female is a motley or not...??
