Just wrote this long response and then erased it!
Great post Jeremy. Lots of work, lots of nice boas, congratulations.
A 1/16 isn't a 1/4!!!
The type 2 anery can make a 1/16-I believe the "pewter" boa is one!!!
In 26 babies from blood het anery to blood het anery there have been 8 pewters-a little more than the 1/4 ratio expected from "het pewter x het pewter."
I'll be breeding these all back to continue the work.
My appreciation of what the pewter boa is has been very high-but many out there doubt it is a true 1/16 because of the results of these blizzard crosses. Can't fight it, I just have to believe until I have a reason to not believe!! Now I need to breed pewter to blood and see what happens...
I say continue on Jeremy-and Pete-and John, and hopefully someone will hit before you are breeding the anery and albino poss hets back to the known dh's-!!
The miracle of genetics in action!! Appreciate!!!
