I am a ball guy. I have recently started picking up adult female boas and a few morph females. My collection is apprx. 20 animal. I have an adult pair of argentines. 0.2 adult surinames. 1.0 super hypo pastel adult. 0.5 normals adult females. Babies: 1.3 rainbows, 0.2 dumerils, o.1 albino columbian, 0.1 hypo, 1.1 het albino, 0.2 anery 66% het albino, 0.1 hypo 100% het anery. I think this is correct. I keep the boas at my cousins house. It's both of our project.

My question, considering what I have or not considering it doesn't matter, is what should be my goal with the boas? Or better yet, what should I be buying? I'm really confused with the genetics of boas. I realize it's just like the balls, but there seems to be so much more. I get a headeache trying to absorb it all. The different regions, the different morphs, the crosses........... it's alot! I have tons of respect for the boas breeders.

After the opinion, can someone break down the genetis of the snow and moonglow please. Also the ingrediants I need to make these 2 animals.

Thanks for your time.

Sorry

For starters a Surinam is a BCC it is also considered a Locality Boa .Which is basically the same as a Guyana Boa also Locality being Guyana. As are peruvian Boas BCC Locality
Peru etc... BCA Boc c Amarali Locality Bolivia some part of Paraguay ,South Brazil( South Brazilians possibly disputable as Amarali).Then Central America has its localities as well. A Locality is a region basically.
As we always tell people collect what you like the most. Because this is what your collection will consit of. Be willing to keep them all. As far as genetics go just learn the difference between recessive morphs Dominant and Codominant Morphs. The Snow Boa is an example of 2 recessive mutations in their Homozygous form. The Moonglow is the same except it is also a Hypo Boa.

snow = Homozygous Albino & Homozygous Anery
moonglow = Hypo that is Homozygous Albino & Homozygous Anery
