Nic x normal boa genetics...

scott_felzer Feb 23, 2006 06:06 PM

Has anyone bred nics to other localities and, if so, are the babies/adults normal sized or nic sized (IE is the small size of nics a dominant trait when outcrossed?)

Thanks in advance,

Scott

They will no longer be Nicaraguans...the babies that is, so no they may not carry the nicaraguan attributes, size etc. They will be crosses/mutts and can carry traits from both of their parents no matter what they are....

Impossible to tell, no advantage in my book!

I understand your point on hybridizing and making mutts. I was just curious to know if the nic trait was to be combined with another locality, if the babies would be small like nics or larger, like most boa species. I won't be breeding these, more just a question of curiousity.
