They are the result of breeding hypo x hypo. They have shed one time and they are just amazing. They getting lighter and lighter since birth. We don't know if they will turm out the same color than the breeding pair, so here are 2 pics of babies and a pic of the breeding pair. Hope you like as I do .


The breeding pair.

I have had a male for over 10 years and apparently he is a hypo as well. I always thought the reduced black was a locality variation but I guess we are finding out thats not the case. Those are some really nice babies! Yellow anacondas are great snakes.

Not trying to disagree, imo these resemble more of a reduced pattern or pastelish look. With hypo boas there is an increase in color and a decrease in pattern and black. I know that sounds like it contradicts itself but here are some pics of my friends hypo conda.

Yes it contradicts, the yellow of your friend has no colors as an sub-adult, but a strong reduction of pattern.It's closer to a green with a yellow head.Is it genetic ?
My babies don't have a pattern reduction but are colorfull and will devellope colors with nearly no black, their eyes are orange and have a proved genetic transmition.
I understand your point, but you can't compare the genetic of boa constrictors. Very few of the pastels boa are genetic, they are polygenic with very different phenotypes with or without much colors and not much possibilities to predict the breeding results.Not all the hypo boas have a stong pattern reduction. With those the result is a litter with the same phenotype on all the babies.
That's why I call them hypo unless I find an other term more approriated but I haven't untill today.
Thanks for your comments.
