I know without any pic's it will be hard to answer this question but since everyone has seen pics of the 3 brothers maybe you can help?I got lucky enough to trade off one of my males to a local person an get 1 of my females back.I know its one of my females because of pictures of her when she was a baby for verification.She is completely different than her brothers very washed out orange colored saddles an her side medallions are almost gone clear to her tail very washed out. an her back ground color has some pink hue to it but she has more of a paste like back ground color than pink like a cream combination of white an light pink if you understand me.Now how can this be?Every boa I have gotten the privalage of seeing that I sold an the 2 that I kept are very high pink,Why is she different?Is she a fluke or what?I got to borrow a camera again so I can get pic's of her,Sorry.Thanks for any help.Eric[Hypoboa]

Hey Eric,
I don't think that it is THAT unusual to have one or two boas in a litter that appear very different from the rest.
Selectively breed your female to see if that look can be passed on to her offspring. One of the most fun things to me about keeping boas is to selectively breed them and simply "see what you get".
One of our females from a litter last year is markedly different than the rest....I can hardly wait to raise her and see what she produces.

I thought about breeding the one very clean high pink brother back to her with the key hole saddles,but that would be line breeding an possibly weaken the line?Or a nice clean salmon boa would work too?Oh well got 2 years to go before I can worry about that,lol,Just very happy to have one of my females back,Try an get pics as soon as I can.Thanks again,Eric[Hypoboa]
