In school I was told there was no such thing as a stupid question.
For the moment no one is exactly sure...
I have a trio of 2003 50/50 Suriname boas het albino...they were siblings.
In 2007 I bred the male to the smaller female, and produced one live Roswell boa...there were also two stillborn with the same perfect striping...this was a completely spontanious, unexpected result...
This year, the same male bred to the larger sister, made 6 more Roswell boas...so it is definitely a genetic mutation...
Obviously all three adults have the gene...now what needs to be determined is how the gene works...recessive or ?

Thanks Heather, Either way you're sitting on a gold mine.
Hello...I usually stay in the ball forums, but ran across your thread on the roswells....First off..I want to say sorry for your loss on those albino roswells....second..have any of your past roswells made it past neonate stage? Just wondering...I breed woma ball morphs and the super form is a "pearl" ball but it is considered a dead gene since none have lived past neonate stage. I hope they work out for you! Those have to be the best looking boas I have seen in a while!! Keep it up....!!!
Mike, the '07 male is now 9 months old...

I was hoping to see some updated pictures of the original Roswell next to some of his "half siblings" from this year. 
I would love to see an updated pic as well....I hope to see this project take off in the coming years!!! Good Luck!
