Which way is up?

This is a hypo harlequin from last year that's got a nice
reverse stripe thing going on. There were two that came out
like this.

I'm not sure if I want to breed the siblings to each other or
not. Any suggestions?

Beautiful Boa.

That's a stripe though, not a reverse stripe. A "Reverse Stripe" is when the tail stripe is the color of the ground color,not the tail color. It is bordered on both sides by striping with the color of the tail color of the animal. Like this:

Do you think it's a bad idea to breed siblings?

Just for one generation.

Those are some great stripes on those two Boas. They have very
very light base color too, something to explore further.

I wouldn't hesitate to pair the two together to see if something
unusually crazy is occurring !
