Motley to a Jungle??

gmherps Jun 13, 2008 05:02 AM

Would there be any logical reason to do this type of breeding since both co-doms? Just a little discussion with another boa breeder on my part.

The outcome would definately make an interesting looking animal. Wouldn't it be nice (Down the line after some of the animal's are mature enough to breed) to produce a highend litter full of Motleys, Jungles and Super forms of "both" in the same litter!!

Another way to pack an animal with awesome genetic potential

I think someone has already done that pairing! And if I remember correctly they were pretty smokin! Yeah, when mine are big enough I will breed a jungle to motley!

Here is a better question! What do think a Double Homozygous Super Motley Super Jungle will look like would the super motley erase all the pattern and color of the jungle!

What do you all think?

I'd say it should make for one clean animal, that's for sure. It'll be really interesting to see how these turn out if/when someone tries.

We breed co-dom balls together all thge time to make combo morphs....what woudl be different in doing it with Boas....?

Hypo Arabs & Hypo Motlys would be an example of it no, I mean I understand that there is no actual SUPER for of the hypo, but it still acts as a dom trait?

Jeremy produced a hypo jungle motley and the jungle gene did affect the motley pattern enough to distinguish whats what but i never saw what the rest of the litter looked like. I am curious to see what a straight up jungle motley looks like
