She is from the original "Nova Boa" litter. She is a Nova. A non-Hypo variety. She looked like an Anery when she was born. A dark Anery. Then when she was about 2' long she started getting darker and now even darker. She is probably nearing 5' now and is darker than ever.

Contrast her sister in a shot taken about a month ago:

I have no idea what to make of her, but I do plan on trying to figure it out.

Well considering the melanistic animals make the brightest colors when given the albino gene I would say go that route for sure. I could not say without seeing the before pic but my question would be, is this kind of like a real kahl coral? Where the red shows up as the snake ages but instead of red or a pink pastel it's turning black.By the way you can send that other female to my house if you run outta cage space.

I don't know what TO make of it, but I hope YOU make much more of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a cheating snake. Reminds me of the story I had on the news when a caucasian woman had a african american baby and a caucasian baby from the same artificial insimination.In the Hawaiian language, black coral is called ‘çkaha kû moana and is the official state gem of Hawaii. Black coral is listed in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).

there ya go call it black coral.
