Anyone hear of a Sharp sunglow being produced this year?

combs reptiles Aug 08, 2003 01:25 PM

I thought for sure this would be the year. I know there are male DH's out there that could breed a sharp albino female, but are they waiting to get the dh to dh breeding ? thats what im thinking, unless someones gonna surprise us at Daytona.
or has anyone produced some morph het for sharp? i.e. motley het sharp, arabesque het sharp, etc.
i know of some attempts to produce guyanas het for sharp alibino, but havent heard if it paid off.

just curious

Being able to keep THAT acomplishment under their hat for very long!(production of a S.S. sunglow.)...as far as other morph combinations,I was lucky enough to produce this Harlequin,het for Sharp,in April,(downside was she was the only one in the litter,29 inferts.,bummer ) I think there are some incredible things in the works,with the Sharps! I know there were successful breedings this year involving anerythristic mutations.

That is an awsome looking boa!! My ruby is 3 years old, im looking for a suitable mate, thats why i ask about the sunglows etc.
Now as far as the harlequin goes, is that co-dom? it looks alot like a jungle. Whats the story on the harlequins? Ive heard about them and seen a few that people called harlequin, but nothing as extreme as yours. that girl has some wild eyes.

cant wait to see sharp harlequin albino!

We're working on both strains of albino!...I produced the first "Harlequin" boas in 97 from 2 normal looking siblings,(they had great color,but,niether were aberrant.)they were obtained from a girl in Fla. in 93...They have proven to be some form of dominant mutation that affects both pattern,and,coloration.(I say "some form" because,in 3 litters this year,I have not seen the 50/50 split that would be expected from "co-dominant" expression? if this happened in one litter,I'd tend to think I just "beat the odds"...but,THREE litters?,4 if you count the little het. that would be some serious Irish luck!?)I can say with absolute certainty,it sure isn't recessive though!(*lol*) several people have mentioned the similarity in pattern anomolies,with those seen in "Jungles",however,since we were unable to trace their exact origin,it's important not to jump to conclusions,or,become too presumptuous in regards to those similarities,there are some unique differences too,and,it's become an extremely rewarding project,with seemingly endless variation.

when will you have any of the harlequins available for sale? I have been admiring them for quite a while, and think they would be a good investment/pet.lol.
