i understand that people tend to be reserved at calling "new" genetics a certain thing untill they are proved out by the necissary breedings. and that is how it SHOULD be...as to not be pre-mature...especially if your going to buy a super "anything" for MAJOR cash...and it turns out to be just another variartion of the co-dom gene.

also, some breeders are ignorant as to how the genetics game is played and any abberant boa that pops out is all of a sudden a jungle. for ex...the "american" jungles. persinally i would LOVE it to prove out genetic just like the swedish line, however that breeder, no matter how many times he was asked to do so, has never substantiated his claims of it being genetic by offering a list of breeding trials. and might make some big bucks from people who will waste two or more years keeping it, breeding it, and getting nothing but a bunch of normals. if he is doing this intentionaly or not is anyones guess but that is just my point for why we SHOULD wait a bit before calling something a certain genetic...ALTHOUGH i am ABSOLUTLEY confident that the patternless motleys are in fact supers even though one has not yet been bred to a normal to officially prove it out.

my resons for that is, these supers have been produced by two completely diff boa types...the colombian motley and the central american motley...and in both cases the motley gene is still consistent.

to adresse the first point, there have been many cases of dominant animals popping out of a co-dom x normal litter. this isnt an unheard of anomily. there have been tiger retics bred to normals and super tigers pop out. same with salmons...etc.

jeremy did produce one of those supers from a motley x normal breeding...that fella is now two years old and i am guessing he will prove out this upcomming season.

so there will always be questions as to these patternless motleys being supers untill the are proved out...as there should be...but with these unique circumstances with the motleys i would gladly write 30k check for one of those bad boys even before they are "officially" proved out. however, currently i cant afford that...so what do you say Alex...i'll give you a pack of cigarretts, my pet cat, a 92 civic and a firm handshake for your SUPER ca motley hahaha

i am always pleased to see these questions pop up becuase they educate potential victims of scams as well as publicly confirm certain genetic. so big props to you brother. later, Nick
