The Leopard Boa was produced in 2000 I think. It was proven genetic by Hans Winner of Germany. Hans bred two Sonoran Mexican Boas together and Out popped the leopard. It is a recessive mutation. The het leopards even have a very pretty look with some showing awesome colors and patterns. I think they are about 60 to 80 Leopards. Hans could give a better guess. He is the only breeder to produce them in large numbers. There have been a few others that have produced them, but up untill this year there have been NONE produced in the US. Unless I am mistaken. There should be a few this year and a few mixed projects. I know Mike at Basically Boas bred his Leopard to the Sharp Strain Albino. Also, I bred a leopard to a T positive. There are many different things you can do with this wonderful Gene.

The average price on the Leopards I think are about 2000 US dollars for a leopard. The hets are about 1/2 of that. I don't know what they will be this year. I guess it all depends on how many are produced. I think they will stay around that price for awhile though. They are truly a great snake to work with and the Size is much more attractive to alot of keepers. They don't get large at all.

Hope this helps. Jeremy Stone
