Dear Herpers,

In 2009, Atomic Animals produced for the first time in the world a brand new mutation of Boa constrictor longicauda called by those who see them: Patternless Longis. That name simply comes from the fact that these specials Tumbes Boas are a uniform grey with no pattern at all except some brown markings on the tail and sometimes some kind of more or less visible darker stripes on the back sides.

We decided not to make much noise about this mutation until proving it to be genetic. However, some pictures were published in John Berry’s Designer Morphs book and on forums on the Internet as well.

Many of the breeders who saw those boas thought them to be a recessive trait. That’s also what John wrote in the chapter dedicated to them.

In 2010, Atomic Animals has once more produced some of these stunning snakes and is proud to introduce his genetically proven Atomic Patternless Tumbes Boas (APTB).

As expected by many, the Atomic Patternless Tumbes Boas’ gene is, as far as I can logically conclude, a recessive one.

I will very soon publish on the Atomic Animals’ website (www.atomic-animals.com) a page dedicated to this spectacular new mutation with detailed story and photos. I will also post photos of the now one year old babies’ evolution, stay tuned!

I wish you a nice day.
