What kind of Motleys will this girl make

What kind of Motleys will this girl make?

This is the single most beautiful Boa that has ever been born under my roof. Her mother is the original "Monster Tail" Colombian Boa. She was born in 2000 after a F1 Orange Tail Hypo male bred the Monster. She stuck out as special from all the other mind blowing Monster Tail Hypo babies from the moment I first saw her. Here she was about a year and a half ago:

This is a picture of her when she was about a month old:

This is her at about a year and a half old:

So this is my number one animal to breed my Motley to this season. He will be smelling her all over before the end of this week. She is about 7.5' long now and 35 lbs. I think she could have around 50 babies! Makes a guy nervous you know thinking about 25 Motleys coming from this girl and half of them being Hypos to boot. My hope is that every Hypo Motley she produces will have that classic Motley pattern. The animal below is one of the babies she produced in 2005:

Even the next generation Hypos still retain wider than normal Hypo pattern. You should see some of the "normal" siblings of this red Hypo. They are really SAHWEEET! One of the beautiful things about the Monsters is that they don't all have the thin pattern that most Hypos have. A Monster Tail Hypo Motley will perfect Motley pattern and ALL this color would be absolutely mind boggling wouldn't it? And the "Super Motleys"! They seem to grab a color and go with it. With the reduction of black and the intense red of this animal, I think it is possible we may see an ALL red Boa without any pattern whatsoever! That would be the ultimate I think.

So what do you think of this little breeding? "Monster Tail Hypo Motleys"!!! Do you think any of the babies produced will be keepers?
