I really think picking a crisp patterned Leopard mixed with the Orangetail hypo was the way to go. Having a tough time keeping Chris from bouncing off the walls!

Those guys are ridiculous. I can't believe how nicely they turned out. The stripes, the boldness, THE ORANGETAIL, that litter couldn't have been any nicer for you. I know it was long awaited, but well worth the wait, wouldn't you say? Congrats to the Gilbert clan.

What type of boas are they?

ShawnGilbert May 31, 2008 09:56 AM

The male is a Sonoran Leopard. An '05 produced and acquired from Hans Winner, originator of the morph. Leopards are a recessive color and pattern mutation of Sonoran boas.

The female is an Orangetail Hypo, the Orangetail is a bloodline of Hypo boas known to hold strong patterns when combined with pattern mutations.

The resulting babies are thus Hypo het Leopard and Het Leopards. Patterns as seen are a combined factor coming from the Leopard and from the bold pattern of the Hypo.

Hope this helps.
