How many of these boas are floating around, and how accepted are they as a morph? I refer to the boy below as a normal boa. The first pic is him as a baby, and the second as an adult. He was bred by Steve Hammond. I have not seen these advertised for years, but I know they are out there. Has the validity of this "morph" slipped away, or are there simply none being produced?

I know that Clay English just produced a litter of Fine Lines. I heard a rumor that they don't breed well for some reason. ???

Here's my 05 an indoor picture....she's not showing much color...

and nice colorful outdoor picture...she really yellows up in the sun!

I was thinking of breeding her this season..just haven't picked which male to use yet.

We have a group we picked up from Steve Binnig a couple years ago. (he got his stock from Hammond years ago).
I do not consider them a "morph", just line bred for that particular look. Although, it is my understanding that it was this line that popped out the arabeques.
Jeff Ronne has a few (probably a slight understatement) and produced some a year or two ago, he also bred them with an anery and made 100% hets. Those are going to be some nice looking aneries!

I love the contrast that their inky black saddles create against there ground color, which in the group we have varies from almost silver to a golden yellow.

What is a "few" really when you think about it.

anywhere from 3 to 100 or more I suppose. LOL

You produce a batch of them every year, right?

I sent most of mine down to Clay English in Texas. He had a litter with them.

Here is a pair of boas I got from Hammond a few years ago he described as "Ultra Fine Lined", he said they are the nicest he's produced. I know, he probably tells that to all the guys. They are some of the nicest I've seen. I agree with what was said above, not a morph but a line bred trait.
