If you do a search on this forum you will discover that this has been dicussed many times before.........
But to answer most of your questions, a JUNGLE BOA IS A PARTICULAR BLOOD LINE, not just pattern abberancies. Not only is it a pattern mutation but it is color as well. This is why you can have "normal" looking jungles, they have increased color. There also may be real normals in a litter with jungles that did not get the color or pattern mutation.
There are other genetic lines of abberant boas, both proven and unproven, so if you just pick up an abberant boa at your local pet store, you would need to raise it and breed it in order to find out if it is genetic. But it still should not be called a "Jungle" since that name has already been claimed for a particular blood line, it would simply be your line of abberant boas that you could call whatever you want(other than a Jungle)LOL.

Hope this helps,

Kathy
