Scoria boa?

VaranusAqua Feb 07, 2007 07:36 PM

Hey i was wondering if anyone had any information on this morph? Is it proven? Codom/recessive? Anyone know the locality of any of the ones imported? Or did they show up in captivity? I've looked around alot on the internet but only found one breeder who has one. Not too much information out there at this time. If anyone has any knowledge they'd like to share it would be much appreciated. This is one exciting boa, definitly gonna turn the boa world upsidown.

Its recessive.
Original male born from two normal parents.
Then bred back to mother, and 5 or 6 more born if I am not mistaken.

They have been around for quite some time. It appears to be recessive, though under the breedings one there is a slight possibility it is a dominant or co-dominant trait.

It appeared in captivity. Normal X Normal. Repeat breeding produced another (maybe two the second time). The first one ever was a male and was later bred to the matriarch. Produced half Scoria half normal. At the time the morph was still called the pink-patternless. The last breeding could be the results of recessive, dominant, or a co-dominant mutation. However because two (or more) occuraces of breeding the original Normal X Normal pairing produced the Scoria it is more likely to be recessive and both of them hets. If it were a dominant or co-dominant trait then it would mean that it randomly appeared twice to the same parents, and this is not very likely.

That's pretty much all there is. New morph, looks great, and two (maybe 3) people working with them.

Take a look at Rich Ihle's website: salmonboa.com
He is working with them and has some very nice pics of his. I believe he has a Scoria and a het.
