What morph?

matt_89 Mar 25, 2007 05:48 PM

Do any of you have "The Boa Constrictor Manual" by Phillipe de Vosjoli? If you do, please look at the boa pictured on page 15.
I am not sure if that is morph, but it has a very interesting pattern.
Do any of you know if there is name for boas with that saddle shape, if it is a morph, or if there is anyone who breeds for that look?

There's no pic on page 15. On page 14 there is a black and white photo of either normals or anerys, since it's a black and white photo, it's hard to tell which. Regardless their pattern is a normal pattern, and some would call it a circle-back pattern, although I think the saddles are a bit blocky for that. One snake has a so-called ladder tail, the other doesn't.

Good luck

My friend swears that his book has a color pic on page 15, so I can only guess the difference is a difference in editions. Sorry!
