.. I know I've been missing in action here for a while, it's been a hectic Spring and I've also been squeezing in some travelling. Here's one of a litter of Hog island Boas that was waiting for me when I came home a week ago..

Agreed! It seems like a lot of people are getting alot of stripes too. I can only hope to be so lucky when its my turn!!!

That caudal striping has been showing up in our litters since way back in the 80s. For a while I considered it almost a trademark of our breedings. I have seen it in other people's Hog island snakes as well, though with the number of these I've produced and sold over the years they may also be related.

It is a strong trait, but it has always been only a tail-stripe. Never anything up the body.

Thanks for your comments..
