Natural Ghost Boa???????????????????????

LeeMatthew Feb 14, 2008 02:47 AM

It seems more likely that these are decendents of captive boas. What are the actual chances of this occuring without intervention?

There were at least two imported Ghost boas from Nicaragua.

a combination morph: hypo and anery?

I remember the burke's had one. I dont remember hearing about any results from its production.

The original produced Hypos when bred to a normal Nicaraguan. I know at least one went to Gus Rentfro who later produced a litter of Ghosts, Anerys, Hypos, and Normals when bred to a suspected normal that ended up being a het.

Tom Burke and Vin Russo also got Hypos from the original and later produced ghosts with them.

I don't know of breeding results with the import that the Burkes had, but it did end up being Type I Anery. As was the original and the Nicaraguan Ghosts produced thus far.
