I don't think anyone has ever scoffed at selective breeding, just at how every drime store boa can be called a pastel and how every hypo is now a pastel hypo regardless of origin.

I think that when the hypo trait is use it can improve almost any bloodline and vise-versa.

but to me what really counts is what the normals from a specific bloodline look like as babies as well as adults. when the hypo trait isn't showing or not used at all.







here is a picture of a nine year old F3 Harlequin female shortly after giving birth.

have a great fathers day.

You said "I don't think anyone has ever scoffed at selective breeding." Oh yes everyone did way back when. You have beautiful animals tho. : )

Brendan, there is no doubt those are wonderfully amazing animals!!!! I love the Harlequins! Andy Federico

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.I just love Harlequins.They are one of the best morphs.Man they are all mind blowing.Awesome.I just love what there blood line can do.Here is one of my new ones.I just love this guy.Your boas rock!!!

The variability within a hypo litter really does it for me.
All of these are from the same litter. The color goes from very light to very bold. The aberrent saddles were a real bonus too.

Denny

They are gorgeous boas Denny congratulations!

Stunning just stunning.This is one hard choice.I real like that striped hypo.They all look amazing!!!!!!!!!

it again what do the normals look like? with hypo like that the non hypo sibs should be nice too. as i know they are. thanks B (happy fathers day)

Not a pretty pastel like yours, but showing some nice color after only 2 sheds.

Hope your fathers day was as good as mine.

Denny

it has red on it's sides.
with such a broad generic decription and your pastel glasses on you got from jeff you can call it a pastel. jeff said you could. i guess you would consider this a pastel too, or maybe is't a pastel hypo.ROTFLMAO. my fathers day was great. glad yours was. later B

about those "Secret Pastel Glasses" Geez, now it's no longer a secret I guess, huh?

By definition, I'd say you have the "Ultimate Pastel" there even though I prefer my boas with longer, brighter tails. There is something about the contrast that appeals to me more!

I am glad that I was able to provide you with a little entertainment this evening, us dads got to stick together!!

Denny

but if she is the ultimate pastel. then jeff should have a whole basement full.
have a great day Denny. it's been fun ribbing you and getting ribbed. later B

agree 100%.
It is nice to have "pastel" whatever....but the normals in these litters really tell the story....

Awesome example, and nice snakes.

Bob

of boas. One awesome snake after another. Do you have any potential mates for those first two?
