A little funky that is:

This did not prove to be genetic. Doesn't mean yours is not.

very nice lateral striping going on with that boa, too bad you don't have better shots of the side. I assume you were trying to show off the black spots that line up along the belly?

well this girl came from a very normal to normal breeding was the only one with anything going on and is the only one with this colour all the rest are very dark looking boas. Here are a few more pics to try and show off the side stripping







also has anyone got an email for Matt Crabe going to be pretty hard getting his male to go with this girl as im in england but worth a chat

Very cool looking boa. Here's mine that I got from David Morgan. Not quite the same (no side striping) but a somewhat similar belly. Unfortunately, I've had some bad luck trying to get babies with this guy. Hopefully this year.

great pics! I love side-stripes!

Here's the only one I have, which also came from a pairing of two normal colombians (although in this case, about 1/2 the litter had lateral stripes, this one had some of the most striping. From Rich Macias/Bloodlines in Las Vegas)

I will take a look at her belly again tonight but I think it's basically patternless with light peppering:

here she was younger:

I hope you will post updates of your girl over time, especially if you breed her, let us know what you get! Thanks for posting the additional photos
