Blonde T-Positive Albino request:

OK. I asked for clarification of the Blonde T-Positive Albino mutation the other day, and several offered to answer the questions that I have. First, there is no question that the animals are beautiful. No question! They are fantastic looking animals that would certainly positively compliment and Boa project that anyone is working on. I have reviewed scores of posts about these animals. I have seen, many many pictures of these lovely creatures. I have spoken to many other Boa nutcases, all this side of the pond, that, to a person, have not been able to point me to the answer to my question. Nor have any of them seen the answer to my question, which I think will be a very easy question to answer.

This is the first litter of Prodigy Boas produced by Clay English in 2007. The breeding produced this surprising litter that is pretty clearly the result of a het to het breeding. Fresh babies still in the goo. These babies are all obviously from the same litter born together. That or Clay had two litters born the same morning and he had the quick thinking to move babies from one litter to another.

and

This is a Paradigm litter I was fortunate to produce this year. This clearly illustrates the difference between the Non-Paradigm babies and the Paradigm.

and

Other folks could post pictures of numerous litters of the VPI T-Positive Boas, illustrating the simple recessive nature their respective mutations. This is the visual evidence that they are much more than just beautiful Boas. Every time I see the "Blonde T Albinos", they are alone. Or a picture is of a pair breeding that are both "Blonde T Albinos". I have seen pictures of a "Blonde T Albino" with a sibling long after that litter was born. I have also seen a mother "Blonde T Albino" that produced a full litter of identically beautiful babies. What I have not seen, ever, is a picture like the several I posted above that illustrate that the "Blonde T Albinos" are in fact "T-Positive Albinos".

So here is my question: Can someone post a picture like this one? That is, some "Blonde T-Positive Albinos" in the goo, right along side normal siblings. It may very well be that these pictures are already posted someplace on the net and I am one of the few in the dark. I'm really not trying to be argumentative. I have seen and participated in many an discussion about these beautiful creatures. Words have not and are not going to prove anything about this topic. A picture is worth a thousand words and will prove once and for all exactly what you folks are working with over there. Watch the demand from the U.S. go through the roof after someone posts those pictures too! Because that is exactly what is going to happen.

Let's just hope someone over there see's this in time to post today. It's 8:30pm over there right now so people might be getting ready to retire for the night and get ready for the grind tomorrow. Someone here in the States i've been talking to has a bunch of info and pix thier gonna be sending me that came from the original guy in Russia/Poland that first had the Blondes. I'm eager to get more info and pix myself on Peter's recent litter. I know there's more pix of the litter but,I think it's Peters place to post more before anyone else does.

..... rather a question. I have been following the paradigm and T-positive projects.

However, the term "Blonde" I am not familiar with. Is this another form of T positive?

I was aware of the BW caramel/paradigm, and the VPI T-Pos but havent heard of the Blonde.

Sorry dont mean to highjack your thread Im just curious.

Thanks Jeff ..

They are probably most definitely another form of T-Pos type Boas. I believe they are also referred to by some as zig-zag T-pos Boas because many carry zig-zag type stripe on their tail. I believe Grey Rushin has several 2.3 maybe or did have them from this Russian Line.

How many known lines of T-positive are there then?

The VPI, BW caramel, Blonde, and ...

... whats this prodigy litter all about?

Thanks for the info, I realize, and from the sounds of the previous posts Ive read that theres still a lot to do in the way of proving the newer lines out but Im just curious as Ive never seen those two terms before ... ie .. .blond and prodigy.

Thanks again!

Most likely can consider the Sharp Albino T-Pos its basically proven because compatibility with BW Caramel. These T-Pos lines may not all be compatable with each other. there is at least one other Boa that popped out of a breeding in '07 I believe(i know there name who produced it ?- brain freeze) they called it Strawberry Line / Boa I think. Looks the closest to the VPI then any other.

I believe EBN produced it. They have pictures of the strawberry albino on their webpage.

got that animal along with a normal sibling in a trade with Joe Rollo.

I forgot to mention, Joe found that animal at a show being sold as a normal. Whata lucky guy!

I also forgot in 2006 Gerry & Geraldine Guerra at SSScales prouced one actually I believe this is the one I was referring to in other post I confused the two. This is the one that looked more like a VPI caramel at birth than any of the rest I believe that was the statement made about this Boa. It Popped out of a Pastel times ghost breeding I think. Its right on their front page.
