This is a holdback female from my Rose X Mr. Damn litter from almost 2 weeks ago. I don't think there's ANY WAY I could possibly sell her at this point.

This is the girl that I nicknamed "Night". Here she is pre-shed.

Here she is post-shed, and after having eaten last night.

I've been trying for a couple of days to get a picture of her that truly represented her color, but haven't been able to do it. The light coming in the window looked to be JUST RIGHT today so I grabbed the tripod, set it to Aperture priority mode, and cranked the aperture to F10. The shutter was open for 1/3 second and the ISO was set to auto and the camera selected an ISO of 800.

The only editing to the picture was cropping, resizing, unsharp mask, and converting to jpg.

She has been blue since the day she shed. But these are OBVIOUSLY her digestion colors. THEY'RE INTENSE!!!

There are a few others in this litter with blue coloring, but they aren't as intense as her color. The next best one has a fantastic pattern like her and has probably 75% of this color intensity. I don't think I remember the sex on it though (didn't make a note - was just sexing the litter to figure out the ratio which I believe is 7.10 - but I need to double check).

DON'T ANYONE GET YOUR HOPES UP OF THIS GIRL GOING UP FOR SALE. I always hesitate to show my holdbacks before I sell anything else from the litter because everyone always wants them, but I couldn't stop myself today! lol

Hope you enjoyed!

Very pretty. I always thought a blue boa would be pretty. Hopefully you are on your way to one. Sharon

A blue boa has been a dream of mine since I first saw one. I really hope this girl keeps her color. It's going to be interesting to see how she looks as she ages.
