What is the EBV Red Group?

tomsey Nov 28, 2008 07:27 AM

I checked the East Bay Vivarium website but did not see an explanation of what the Red Group is?
Is this a Colombian morph? Or some other BCI?
Are they used to add red to breeding projects??

Thanks for your help.

catagorized as "pastels". "Pastels" being a normal boa that has a reduction of black pigment. Try not to confuse pastels with mutations. Pastels are a selectively bred polygenic trait and not a spontaneous single gene mutation.

EBV's "Red Group" boas are highly regarded due to their high color and pastel wash out. They make for some of the most beautiful boas out there (normal or mutation). And many people like to use them to incorporate into mutations (myself included!).

Some EBV Red Group Salmons I produced in 2007:

Ryan covered it. I was looking for Jeff Ronne's post concerning the Red Group Boas.
Anyway they are a selectively bred Colombian type Boa. Bred for red Color and cleanness and / or Pastel type qualities.
The progenitors of the Red Group Boas were "Lucy Pastel Line" Boas acquired from Jeff Ronne.
I wanted to post the link to a thread in this forum from a few days ago where Jeff confirms this fact.
