What makes a screamer MOTLEY??

michaelburton Sep 18, 2003 02:39 PM

Other then personal preference, what pattern or color makes a screamer or more valuable motley? Is there a such thing as a super motley? If so, what does it look like? Thanks.

Mike

You want to see solid side striping(no breaks at all), good zipper patterns on the side of the tail and a nice, big ladder tail. Color and pattern are your own personal preference, so they really aren't rated much by those two qualities. I like the higher contrast animals with a blocky pattern(like this female).

This pic was taken several months ago and she has darkened up a little,, I will try to get a new pic tonight.

they are the "apples of my eyes".....screaming is not allowed in the house If you are thinking of buying a Motley....IMO....just get one if you can!!! They are wonderful, hardy, great eaters, and very robust animals. These two will eat anytime food is offered, shed or not. Mine are not fragile, delicate or temperamental boas which is a huge plus (for me) considering their prices.

Wow... I really like your motleys Linda...

Now that I think of it.. your entire collection makes me jealous..

but I love each and every one. The nicest part about a small group (for me) is that they each get to come out every few days and hang out in the house or go outside for "walks" in the sunshine. I hope they enjoy it in some way.....I know I do
