The monstertail is a featured 'morph' or line of Boas that Jeff works with.

Typically, as I see it, the monstertail came about from a female which had saddles that appeared to look like tail blotches.... not big, red tail blotches, but those that meet in between the saddles and tail blotches... well these seem to go all the way up..
another thing is that the red that is usually common only on the sides of the tail, usually goes up all the way to the neck and is also red.

Jeff has bred these into pastels and hypos and has made some of the REDDEST animals like this.

The gene seems to add red somehow, or let it be more visible, and also makes for much bolder pattern. Bold, meaning, very deep, well outlined and well pronounced, yet veryu contrasting to the normal color of the snake... not just dark.


You can read more about it from the originator. Great line of boas.



For you to buy one and cross it with something else, this is not a demanding 'morph' that will make you rich overnight, if that's what you are looking for.

It is however a nice snake and can probably add that when breed to another boa.




hope that helps...
