>>I have come across a local guy who just had a litter a boas born. In this litter was 9 boas with thier tails striped instead of the typical spots. I am assuming these boas r worth more then regulars. I am interested in buying them all off him and I am wondering what they r worth. Also there is one other that he won't part with that is stripe from his head all the way to his tail. Really neat looking I was hoping to get it but the guy says no way. LOL I guess I can't blame him! Is there a good chance that if I breed the boas that I could get a complete stripe like thier sibling?

On a serius note,one cannot guarentee weather or not this has happened due to genetic's or just a fluke due to many different things during the females pregnancy!If the person knows the background on the animals an it is genetic,Well yes it could happen,But If this is not known it is still possible it could happen,But the only way of proving this is threw breeding trials!But in the end one could end up with some very nicely stryped or deviant boa's that are no more than beautiful boa's!So becareful what you are paying for!Hope this helps and good luck with your decision!Eric
