I just had my first boa litter and I didn't even know she was pregnent! The mother is a 4yr.old Jim Peters Pastel Type B. She has great color, even at 8 feet.
The father is a 9 year old Salmon boa direct from rich. He was rated as a B animal. For some reason the entire litter of 15 turned out striped!!! I don't know how many are hypo,but will see soon enough.
I was thinking that the female was just constipated,(I posted once about that)but last night she passed everything and had an extra surprise!

I'll post pictures soon............

(thats a pic of the mother)

Congratulations! Always fun getting surprises like that. You mentioned that all the babies were striped. To what degree (50%, 90%, tail striping)? I would definitely hold onto that breeding pair if the babies look anything like their mom (she's gorgeous). Post pics of those little guys/gals and congrats again!

Unfortunatly this whole litter was premature and did not live. All of them were 50%to 80%Striped,so that gives me something to look forward to in the future! When I first looked at them I thought they were arabesque.They were that odd. The parents are not stiped AT ALL-not sure what happend???
