What about this critter?

boaphile Nov 25, 2009 05:50 PM

So I have this strange Boa born in a litter of Pearlescents in 2005.

The flash does strange things to this animal. The lower half that looks like a different shed is actually much more different than this picture would lead you to believe. It's very contrasty. The lower half mostly has very very little or no real black influence to it at all.

Now over time she has developed more and more of these random white scales. White as in they could not be any whiter white.

These stick out more when you see them in the flesh. She is about 6 1/2' now and ready to make her first babies. These white flecks are only on the sides. There aren't any on her back at all. She is not het Albino so no way it's that type of white flecking. So what about it? Is it something or no?

I doubt that it is, but you know I'm going to have fun trying to find the answer to that one! I have just the boy for her. There is one and only one male from that litter that is showing any of those little white specs...

This is a close up of one of her sisters just for fun:

Time will tell.
