Strange white spots

tcdrover Oct 07, 2009 04:03 PM

This is the female I posted about last week. She has these wierd
white blotches on her body.

She's already shed a couple of times. I thought they would just
fade away. I'm not sure it's worth holding on to her for. Any
opinions or suggestions?

It's got this very light, peachy color which I like.

That has a calico like pattern.. I would keep that one..

So it 'could be' a genetic trait that can be passed on?

I'm not familiar with Calico boas. I've seen pics of them but
that's it.

Really? That's interesting, I didn't know that.

None of my adult hets have white blotches and that female was
the only one in a litter of 22 with them. I've got more than 8
adult & juvenile hets. I guess it means nothing then, I knew
she was 100% het already. Thanks....tc
