It reminds me of those paintings that have hidden, subliminal
images.

The pattern looks almost 3D.

perfectpredators Aug 05, 2010 09:48 PM

That is the coolest pattern I've ever seen on any boa, that's what that is.

VolcomHerp Aug 05, 2010 10:35 PM

It's a little kids pet Camcun Boa you stole while he was selling chiclets to tourist on the beach in MEXICO!!! SHAME ON YOU BOA SMUGGLER.. I thought you would of grown out of that decades ago. How do boa's breathe in suit cases anyway??? LOL 8)
Warm Regards,
JAKE

I Can guarantee it's not an Aztec. I'm blown away by whatever it is and it's truly a beautifully stunning and gorgeous boa. Wow that thing is so sweet, my socks are blown off my feet. Whatever it is I want seven. Jeff your such a lucky guy, I guess that's what a trillion years of doing boa's get's you. Andrew

skyslinger Aug 06, 2010 03:22 PM

that an Aztec was the closest thing it resembles. I know Jeff wouldn't be asking if it was one. I saw your Aztecs in person at Daytona in 2003 when you first brought them. I just didn't have the cash to get my hands on the first one you sold that year. Oh well, I am sure one will wander in to my collection at some point. Trade you a Sharp albino Motley! =b

Looks like a good crossing of an argentine and colombian. More argentine pattern with colombian color.

fumanchu858 Aug 06, 2010 01:24 AM

Is that what i think it is? Is it just me or you see the motley pattern and squaretail in that boa ? another secret project ur working on? What ever it is ! That's a highly clean pattern boa.
Here's my proven Cancun boa with some partial connected side pattern

Why Jeff, its a "Super Raptor" boa. Apparantly a homozygous dominant form of a new incomplete dominance gene. Very cool. The heterozygous form look like a nice circle back.

"correct terminology"

my thoughts exactly!

but that is one AMAZING animal, for sure! and i like that it's a homozygous animal! the simple dominant stuff loses value too quickly

I can't get over the side pattern on that boa. Come on spill the beans.

Looks like a Cancun, Aztek and Motley had a menage a trois....

boaphile Aug 06, 2010 07:21 AM

It is as Dr. Booth stated a "Super Raptor".

The previous picture posted is a Super form as is the picture above. This is a new Boa mutation in Europe first shown to the public in John Berry's new morph book. There are few pictures and no history known about this animal or the bloodline.

thanks!

Eabele.

DSavickey Aug 06, 2010 10:44 AM

I would guess a motley aztec

LarM Aug 06, 2010 01:56 PM

I find it interesting that there is no stripe at the end of the tail

Most of these similar mutations usually have a stripe at the tail tip !
