scale shots of my Het T+ male. He is surprisingly clean for a CA. He is from a T+ to hypo breeding.



In these last two he is peaking out.

Here he is in full:

I believe that it is almost pure central american. Forgive me if Im wrong buy that snake was created with a "hypo" which has colombian blood, and a Central American (Nicaraguan) T-pos.

Just want to understand, I will say that there is alot of influence from the central american blood, but it can not be labeled as pure anything....cant it?

He doesn't have any Columbian in him, the hypo was CA too.
Can't wait to attempt to breed this little guy in another year. At least I will have the time to get my hands on another CA female for him...if anyone will let a nice enough one go.

I was under the impression the hypo used was CA, as he was sold to me as a CA, with no mention of Columbian blood. I am pretty sure he is all CA, but there may be more in his genetic background than I am aware of.

I think that that Het was the result of Jeremy Stone's Nicaraguan T Positive Albino male to one of Peter Kahl's C.A. (I think also Nicaraguan) Hypo females.

Laura, did you get him from Pete? I don't think Pete has bred "Colombian" Hypos with Jeremy's T-Positive, and as far as I know Jeremy's T-positive Albinos (he has two males) are the only ones to sire Nicaraguan Hypo het T-Plus litters.

He came from Pete. If he is Nicaraguan, it is nice to know it.
Thank you for the background.

I was wrong, If you purchased him from Kahl then you are right. I for some reason was under the impression that nobody has done the breeding. Once again, I apologize.

While it is nice that he is all CA (hate to say "pure" in any event, as there are different types of boas in CA, and I don't know which type he is), and although I do think the CA form of T is prettier than the Columbian, I would have gotten him even had he been mixed.
