Some of the holdbacks...

These aren't professional pics, but you get some idea of colors/patterns; most are the chocolate dilute line. Someday I'll get some decent, clear pics to post.

This Boa here looks like it could be some type of color mutation,
looks similar to some C.A. T Pos Boas.

Although it's tail out line coloration also reminds me of Hog Island Boas.
Some of them have a very similar coloration.

The aberrant pattern is interesting as well

That one is a "chocolate dilute"...it is also 1/4th Hog Island (both parents were from breeding het sunset to what is believed to be "het" chocolate Nicaraguan). I have "het chocolates" from breeding Nic to Nic X Cancun as well, so I'm not of the opinion it's simply a Hog cross. Although I think it may be possible to produce somewhat similar animals from Hog crosses. I believe that it will prove to be codominant hypoerythrism with modifying genes, but it's still not completely understood how it's inherited. It may take a couple more years to have a pretty good explanation of it. I produced them from line breeding to the Nic mother as well. These stay light as adults although they dull out some; I think they may make some very interesting morphs crossed to other genes such as bloods, BW caramels, etc.

Here's some more pics. This chocolate has slight blackish tail bordering; the other one has zero black on it. The dark one is Blue Moon line to Mayan (chocolate line), the very pale one with slight triping near the end is Nic X Nic-Cancun poss het T snow. The "het" chocolates(and hypomel het chocs) often closely resemble adult BW caramels as juvies. I'm working on a "purple project"...imagine combining the dark ne with blue tinting to the blood gene, and also T gene (Nic).
